also, due to early outs, Alaska, and southwest aren’t furloughing. Delta probably won’t either. Now I know, that is only 3 airlines, but every seniority list was supposed to be gutted on oct. 1. There is some positivity out there, that this may not be as devastating to pilot careers as once thought.
Lets be real here, yes Alaska has a lot of folks volunteering for leaves which at this point has mitigated the October furlough threat, but given the current trajectory of the virus and its effects on future bookings the chances of Alaska furloughing next year remains high.
