They ain't going to furlough anybody.
Another way to look at carry-over: Say you ended up being awarded, and flew, just 1 day of carry-over, at 6 hours, every month fo a year. 6 hours x 12 months equals 72 credit hours; that's 1 insidious extra 4-week bid month of productivity at straight pay you just gave the company for the year
! Now, apply this factor to 11 more pilots, and you see how one seniority number is now an "excess". Continue this practice to, say, a population of4800 pilots...
