I don’t know. We’ve budgeted for a cut in pay starting mid March of next year. Not suddenly in Oct. If this is the deal, I’m not sure...
I would argue that for most people this would be a good deal. Getting 5-7k a month for a part time job is pretty dam good. Most pilots will not land six figure jobs while on furlough.
