I thought there might be a risk of furlough for you guys with the PW issue, but if you are still seeing comparable ratios to our losses as before, then I doubt the company would need any.
What are the NK retirement numbers for 2024/25?
JB-
2023-7
2024- 63
2025 - 66
2024-3
2025-20
Furloughs will be tricky compared to normal industry furloughs in the past.
Normally it’s “we aren’t making money, we are shrinking, we need less pilots”
With the engines, the draw down is slower and measured and they have to factor in attrition without backfilling with new hires.
My guess is they will be fine on FOs with attrition and not backfilling the next 18 months. Captains will be over staffed and they will need to decide how to deal with that. I assume JBLU will have the ultimate say on this, once merger is approved
