furlough process may begin in January with very junior pilots but displacement bids, actual furlough numbers, base and equipment transfers, retraining, downgrades, base moving reimbursements all have to happen before the “big one”
iad pilots are schedules all the way out to April for equipment transfers

Or it will be requested knowing we will deny it - then it’ll be furlough. No way it’s avoided.
