There are many, many reserve pilots sitting around right now

Anywho, I think its too early to call whether or not there will be furloughs at SkyWest. I'm at the bottom of the seniority list and until we hear more, anything with regard to that is speculation so its not worth getting bent out of shape about. Although, it does remain a possibility.

I think around mid-summer we'll all have a better idea of what's going to happen. However as with aviation anything is possible so who knows.

As for the guys in the pool I feel for you. When I was in class we had 3 classes scheduled after mine wih a few people from the company I was previously furghlouged from in one. And I know it can't be any fun waiting for things to change. But its not just aviation that's hurting right now its pretty much everywhere so I imagine quite a few people are having a hard time getting jobs in their chosen vocation.
