I get that I truly do. But I also think every pilot has been in this industry long enough to read the tea leaves themselves. If flying is only 50% of what it was and we are only flying 50% of our jets. Then you can start to do some math to get a rough idea. It doesn’t help when you have places (the blue states) that plan to keep their states closed for business. Heck California is literally the 8th largest economy they say in the world. We need these states open to get a better idea of where travel truly is. That will show us how many people have been economically hurt by this which translates to their spending. I honestly would be shocked if we don’t furlough!! I recently said and I truly mean this. if we do not furlough going forward I will end up being one those old guys I use to fly with telling them don’t worry the company will take care of us. Everyone knows we were already overmanned because of the max going into this. This just literally multiplied how bad it got for everyone of us. Maybe we will have enough pilots taking early out and ETO’s to stave off any furloughs who knows.
