The current environment is unprecedented. We are flying 20% of our schedule and the company had a 6 month heads up to start the bids/retraining. They could easily furlough 3000+ in October and not blink an eye. I still don’t understand why people compare this to past furloughs. 9/11 was a sudden unexpected event that they had to react to immediately, while still flying a 50-60%+ schedule. Apples to oranges compared to now. The CARES act provided them a heads up to do this as quickly and efficiently as possible.
