4a2b then c. Then a measly amendment period penalty payment just pays you back for the money you lost due their over hiring and subsequent 54 hour BLGs. They’re allowed to royally screw up and we pay for it.
Depending on what happens with retirements, resignations and what the network actually looks like on the day sort come October, this is all very likely. However, they still have a problem with the feeders as the entire reason for purple pathway is to guarantee slots at the mainline in order to attract people to fill the seats. There are no exceptions to hiring people thru that channel when you are in 4a2c, with respect to the exit clause. So if you want to furlough they need to get into 4a2c AND not hire....it i really is a conundrum so if FDX needs to furlough or try and save money in 4a2c then they can't hire either.
