Congress is going to be obsessed with the open Supreme Court seat and extending the PSP is way on the back burner and the fire is just flickering. When this election is over, the company is going to react accordingly. They will go full speed with the TA, or the furlough plan.
Have you considered the incremental furlough cost beyond 2850? Those additional 1000 come at a significantly higher cost to the Company - every single one of them. It’s not like furloughing FAs. I think there’s a good reason the additional 1000 haven’t seen WARN letters. And all of those will require 3 months advance notice with furlough pay and vacation. That’s a lot money. Why haven’t they sent the letters already if they intend to furlough? What’s it cost to send a letter?
