JO furloughed 350 after 9/11. Mesa was putting new hires in the ERJ instead of the 1900 during 2001.
The furlough happened after 9/11- during the call back the senior 1900 pilots bid the ERJ and the junior ERJ pilots went to the 1900.
so yes, JO furloughed and created double training events during the recall. I’d venture Mesa lost money for the furlough.
