FWIW if they were to furlough all the guys they could legally let go assuming they are all 2 year FO's or less they would save $4,102,920 annually based on worse case scenario - CR7 2nd year F.O. $37.99 X 75hr = 2849.25 X 12mon = $34,191 X 120 pilots (no benifits or per diem). Wow, when I look at that it does seem like a pretty mean number. I never really knew they could save that much.
Agreed with the first line!
Your numbers don't look at the big picture though - I am assuming that the company is saving a crap load of money by keeping all of the lines at guarantee. Most of our captains are 5 yr++ - it would only take 130 captains being reduced from the 90 hr summer averages to the current 75 hr lines to make up for 100 2yr fos. I know there's other expenses I'm missing, but it won't be a huge savings to furlough unless there's a further reduction in our block hours from Delta.
Just my 2 cents.
