That being said, these furloughed pilots aren’t getting recalled. Let’s be real, and more furloughs are to come. This isn’t the same as a recession where all airlines are hurting and furloughing; this is different.
Any NK guys on here picking up open time? And swapping is still picking up open time. Just curious.
Soft disagree on the displaced peeps. If you moved your family to base, and now have to commute, and can trade 141 to not have to commute, that is not the same as picking up on top while others are waiting to get recalled, IMHO. Obviously the whole current situation is different, but still. (I was on the last page of the Master XY till furloughs happened)
