Of course, that’s all just based on predictions. Only time will tell who was right.
I don’t think the company was in a position to furlough the numbers they advertised for October. In the bottom 2000 something like 1800 NB FO’s. I just completed NB RQ3 training in September which is the short course and all the instructors kept remarking how few people have been trained.
I think we got played and fully expect 2000 furloughs on June 1.
