If you are only two from the top of the list I would think you might make the 9/1 cut still. We will have some pilots pulling the plug on this when they are forced to go to LGA or commute etc.
Attrition still exists so I would hang in there and if you are willing to be the bottom pilot in one of the bases you might be able to not get furloughed. 9/1 is still a month + away.

There were many pilots senior to me who took voluntary LOA or furlough and I sincerely thank them for that. There are also 60 some odd pilots below me and I hope all of them can either stick it out and get recalled sooner than later, or find something better to move on to.
It looks like about 190 pilots (not furloughed) will be displaced from their current domicile and/or position.
I am just waiting to see if they have any forecast for when and how pilots will be recalled. Then I can move on from there. I am hopeful, but not stupid.
It was a fun ride while it lasted!
