Pure clickbait.
I'm sure then that you saw the United "memo" that said they only need 5000 out of 25,000 FA's?
Again, out of context clickbait nonsense.
...improving to 2500 by Fall of 2021...
This is a lot less insane, but we stil don't know. I suspect they will announce 2000-2500 furloughs, then adjust the bid before it gets to that point to closer to 1500-2000. As they impliment that "plan" based on extremely limited and rapidly changing data based off a snapshot with guesses thrown in, as reality unfolds the "plan" and the "memo" will be adjusted to reflect that, and actual furloughs could be quite a it less under some realistic scenarios. Or they could overreact now, only to recall many hundreds very quickly (as in well prior to the 18-24 month ROI estimate often cited).
Do something Lieutenant, even if its wrong! That's where they are right now, with a dash of FUD thrown in just to see if they can claw back a little extra on general principle.
No one truly knows how all the variables will shake out. That includes management, and it especially includes anything that comes from a "memo".
