Compass would furlough for a reduction of block hours, airplanes going away, or flowback. All three of those are possible but let's rule out an airplane being painted as a cause of furlough at a company that has reserve captains flying 50 hours in the right seat and 20 in the left every month because there aren't enough copilots out of training yet.
I think he meant PSA blacktops were being painted so one is almost always parked. Still would only acount for about 12 pilots at most.
