also 20% for exto is not the same as furloughs. The 20% are still getting paid something so it would need to be a way higher number to equal the 17% furlough of AA et al
DL has 2600 pilots strictly for international long haul. That’s A350, 330, 777, and 50% ER. That’s around 20% of their pilot group and almost the exact number of UNAs. Domestic flying will come back in a heart beat when a vaccine is out (as long as it works). You can’t shed too much if you want to win.
For us, 20% of the pilot group on ExTO or VSP is more like 10% when it comes down to monetary value. I think that’s a good number to start with and can last a solid 6 months.
