Not trying to be negative, but it just seems weird that the company would sign a contract with a no-furlough clause and have no way out of it. They had 5 years to think it up didn't they?
There are lots of loop holes in every contract and if the company needs to furlough then they will and can find a way. There's no way that Jerry and Friends would ever sign a contract that didn't have loop holes. Smoke and Mirrors...............slide of hand.............whatever you want to call it.
Loop holes, if I was an ASA pilot I wouldn't put any stock in this clause.
