If things don’t change soon (demand returns, massive early outs (which probably won’t happen) or gov bailout), I think the furloughs will go deep.
Today, we need 3920 pilots to fly the schedule. That’s flying 35% of our normal schedule.
Not trying trying to be a glass half- empty guy here, but I’m prepping myself and family for a third furlough.
Good Luck to us all.

Unfortunately I think the 2250 will not be saved unless a turn around happens by next summer or more then 1000 opt to to go.
I also think the opposite is true if the early out flops then more WARNS and fourloughs will be sent
