If they furlough, they are admitting the company is terrible mismanaged, as this was solely on them for over hiring. Those furloughed would be better off going to the other airlines that are hiring like crazy, so other than the pain of switching, it’s not a big deal. I don’t understand the fear mongering about furlough. I don’t think the company will because once they do, that stigma is on them forever.

Also, they haven’t even asked for voluntary leave of absences yet. Or tried early retirement incentives (no the TA didn’t count).

Please stop with the furlough predictions.
