It doesn’t cost the company anything to furlough everyone still on probation on 10/1... in addition it only costs 1/2 month furlough pay for those with less than 2 years on property... and only 1 month furlough pay up to 3 years. Best case I’m thinking 1,000-1,500 on 10/1... worst case 30-35%.
they could save a lot of money not carrying extra NB FOs... and if demand picks up sooner it’s easy to recall and have them do a quick recall back in the same NB they left. If demand worse they can furlough more.
