As I look at this, the ZTL part of the LOA is not designed for the bottom 2500, it is designed or the top 5000, to save the bottom 2500. What do I mean? What do senior captains that max their pay/QOL do? Bid a line, drop, (through trades) all their lines (zero time), and then pick up tips to max their desired end state. They want a zero time line so they just pick and chose what they want rom open time, trades, premium, etc. Get the greedy CAs to jump on this any pretty soon you have a sizable hunk of mitigated furloughs.

The ALternat month schedule is or those that want some time off, have dual incomes with kids at home, want to get a lot of time of when combined with vacation or are too junior to normally get December off, but now will. Another sizable chunk of furloughs mitigated.

Furlough with training, those at the top o the bottom 2500. They don’t believe that they will be out very long, probably 190/75/76/330 pilots that can make some money from the company while furloughed.

The rest of us in the bottom half of the 2500 can hope for conditional ZTL or AML to not have to pay COBRA.

The bottom 1000 just have to wait and pray.
