Quick estimate: Union will say nothing, just regretfully the company is choosing to furlough. They will beat a drum about how hard they tried to persuade the company otherwise.
Company will send out 600 letters. They will reduce the number of actual furloughs to 400 just prior to the furlough. After a month or two they will call back 30 pilots because they furloughed too many.
This is very different, changes daily, company could cancel the whole thing days before, if things change drastically. Don’t put too much stock in that but it really could happen.
I think that is a pretty good ratio when comparing the last furlough numbers and scale to the new numbers and scale.
