Seems pretty tested to me, we're weeks away from thousands of furloughs and I don't see any movement to shred contracts to avert that, mostly the opposite. Some contracts do have pre-defined furlough mitigation procedures baked-in, that's obviously pre-meditated and thus does not degrade the contract.

I don't think anybody really expects to avoid furloughs, except in maybe a few niches or a few lucky regionals (at the expense of other, terminated regionals). The real debate is whether to make concessions to avoid BK, but we all know how that turned out last time, so there's doesn't seem to be any appetite there either.
