So what's the net.......we don't know JACK!
On JFK reserves, up until an hour ago I would have agreed with you. But i just checked my email and it said that both CVG and JFK 50 seat staffing levels are critical. So basically most reserves are out flying today.
And what we know....you're absolutely correct. Ladies and gentlemen, we might furlough. We might not. The only thing we know for sure: WE DON'T KNOW. Have we all forgotten that just about everything that starts with "a checkman once told me..." "I heard in ground school that..." or "my sim instructor just told me..." is just hearsay. How many of us "heard a sim instructor" say that we were definitely going to have signing bonuses. They started hiring 300 pilots this summer, yet there was no talk of signing bonuses.
Let's just wait for some official announcements.
Where was everyone on the green team announcement? Nobody heard that from their crashpad's cousin's brother's former roommate? I'd consider that to be a fairly big annoucement on the state of CVG.
