We have issued WARN notices to 403 of our AMFA-represented Employees in our Mechanics & Related, Appearance Technician, and Facilities Maintenance Technician workgroups, with an intended furlough date of January 25, 2021. Additional communication was sent to another 1,503 Mechanics & Related Employees who may be impacted by contractual displacements. There are several Employee groups that fall under the AMFA-represented “Mechanics & Related” collective bargaining agreement, including Mechanics, Inspectors, Plant Maintenance Technicians, Ground Service Equipment Mechanics, Maintenance Controllers, and Maintenance Technical Instructors."
So it's 403 WARN notices and 1503 possible displacements, if I understand correctly. How many total in that group? Anyone feeling the LUV in the air as well? Good we're shedding the lowest paid employees before we start tapping into that 18 billion reserve in the bank. I'm sure there was nothing else the LUV airline could have done other than furlough as the last resort.
