I have zero fear that they furlough. And if they do, the pilots furloughed will have great opportunities elsewhere. Everyone is acting like this is 2001 again and no one is hiring.
Would a furlough raise or lower the stock price? The BOD and executives care only about one thing and that’s raising the stock price for the shareholders. They couldn’t care less about words like “brand” and “reputation”. Those days are long gone. Ask whether a furlough would increase or lower the stock value and then reassess.
