Neither the company or ALPA has mentioned anything about furloughs. This program is not a furlough mitigation concept. It is designed to reduce training costs to the company and get pilots who will go many months or even a year without any revenue production. We will be overmanned next winter. Manning for the following summer is about right. If the program goes through and a substantial number of pilots take the program the company will have to hire if marketing does not make a change in the block hour program.
