Not exactly. The largest threat of furloughs that came from BQ was 3,900. The last time I saw the seniority list it was at ~12,400 after the early outs. 12,400/3 = 4,133. So, with 4,133 pilots in the bottom 1/3, there are about 233 pilots who will take a 50% pay cut and probably a displacement as well having never been threatened with a furlough. A large number of those pilots are the double furloughees. I would submit that this would be the biggest kick in the jimmies to them of their careers since it would not be coming from the company, but from their brothers and sisters.
