Per the last flight ops town hall, PC now stated they are as of now targeting a 30 percent reduction in pilot "staffing". He clarified this in the live Q+A at the end. He said the 30 percent is based on "active line pilots, currently 11,800 minus retirements between now and summer 2021". By my math there is approximately 400 pilots to retire in that period per Unitedseniority.com. That comes to 11,400(.30)=3,420 furloughs without any additional mitigation. This is a huge number and very unfortunate. I am included in this number as well. They seem to be planning on shrinking to profitability.
