The 260 "Furloughs" will likely be met through attrition. 130 Captains will downgrade to F/O on 01 September
United has "allowed" 100ish FOs the option of taking a month off if they want it next month due to Boeing being short about 100 of our aircraft deliveries this year. A little different animal. Meanwhile Friday we had a new bid for 125 CAs. I feel bad for y'all but please don't act like it's an industry wide issue.
