Allow me to interject.
First, the company has good specificity on the manning required for summer 2021 flying. We don't have that information, and they will not provide it to us.
Speaking for myself, as a non-socialist, I: 1)took the VEOP because it worked for me and my family and 2)I thought it would prevent some folks from losing a job. How many? I had know idea.
FF>>>> The company did not expect the take rate we had for the VEOP. Thus the ~600 saved from furlough. Personally I think the company is blowing smoke and we may need to furlough about 1000. I always thought the 2558 was poker play. I think the 1941 is poker play as well. That's for later discussion.
The fact is we had a pretty decent VEOP offer and many decided to take it at a rate higher than company expected. So I would like to ask you, why did you ask Denny that question?
