UCAL with a much more comprehensive deal on the UNA side has all/most of there junior Pilots available and producing. Our management team either dropped the ball planning wise or had conflicting priorities which precluded a more operationally productive and flexible arrangement.

Absent the government money we would probably be in a similar situation manning wise but with zero VEOPs and UNAs and thousands of furloughs.

Scoop
Yes 20-04 putting affected pilots onto sometime similar to 20-03 no fly lines, but qualifying them to at least be able to pick up would have made sense. Could have helped when schedule crunches happen.
