I'm not sure we are looking at the same report? Scroll to the bottom of the award and it is listed at the bottom of the report as Open time 1. 14 hours total in open for CA and 10 for FOs, in SEA.
No, furloughs aren’t cost effective for 2 months. What seems to be cost effective is allowing pilots to take paid time off and pay reserves guarantee which they most likely won’t fly up to. I’d say even more cost effective than a scenario of a senior pilot bidding reserve and being able to credit 110 hours while only flying 40 hours.
