As Hoover states above, company isn’t talking (at least outside of whatever NDA the union has with the company).

I think they are trying to be “ahead of the game” in the event PSP fails, but I wouldn’t guess the company won’t try for concessions for the eventuality when that money runs out. It’s still too early to tell what the crystal ball says about the vaccine response and travel demand. The company seems to be stuck on a 10% number, but I think they are using tactics to bring it out publicly that the furlough threat is real in order to pressure congress to act on PSP. That said, I’m just a pilot not an analyst, but I’ve been in and around the 121 game since January of 2000 so I know enough to second guess the motives. I hope to be wrong and I wish the culture kool-aid was real...but it’s not Herb’s airline anymore. The smoke they are laying down is thick and right now nobody can see clearly on either side other than posturing and back-and-forth email statements.
