Default Compilation of Furlough Numbers

I've been thinking that with so many airlines starting to park airplanes, furlough, ask for concessions, etc - I'm having a hard time keeping up with it all. In my attempt to catalog everything, I thought it gave kind of an interesting perspective of where the industry is at...

So I thought maybe we could keep a running thread on just the facts, so everyone can get a look at what's going on. Please, no commentary, rumors, etc. We can start a new thread for that - but this could be a thread everyone could just go to quickly to get the facts.

Listed below is what I know for sure. Feel free to post your own to the list.
