You cannot judge the pandemic as a down cycle as a normal furlough. This was not a normal business down turn. Lots of political support, controversy yes, but both sides willing to try cooperation to get deals done. Again, not normal. In a true business down turn, there will be no support for the airlines, and no deals or massive pay cuts to keep employees on the books. Furloughs will happen again at some point. We are a long ways from that happening.
Hire till you furlough.
