Did me a really nice favor so thanks.
Never have to apologize for cogent posts. I was merely pointing out a fact of how pilot numbers are derived. They are specified at a minimum of that stated in section 8 (yeah I know for our former military folks) and increased by whatever factor the company seems appropriate. The answer to furloughs really lies in that answer which is changing it probably twice a day or more.
My point was to just ask folks to take a deep breath and not react to your post or any others on the subject.
Again, be safe and best of luck. Wife taught school and I think the most underpaid job in the USA is a school teacher. I salute you!
