Although i wish that that could save some jobs, I find a very big and simple fallacy. Extendend VILs bring ZERO saving when compared to short term (less than 12 months) furloughs. By letting you take a 3,6,12 months VIL or getting furloughed less than 12, the only EXTRA training NK would have to provide would be for landing currency. If they can choose to get you that landing currency sim after 6 months by paying you 50 hours or zero hours I am pretty sure they would take the latter...
