As for the furlough/no furlough coverage, I am simply quoting what is in the contract. In no way do I believe this is a golden blanket that protects people. Management is going to do what they want, and then worry about the consequences later. The fact is, the management at ASA seems to be okay with having a large pilot group. They are staying ready in case any flying becomes available, and would like to keep their "Never Furloughed Anyone" statement in the lesson plan for Indoc Day 1.

That said, this is an unprecedented time in the airline industry. Who knows what will happen...?

To respond to the original question of the thread: There is a clause in the contract, yes.


...I just hope it doesn't come to testing whether or not it holds up.
