Hope this is not true.
300 + 297 = 597. that's roughly 42% of the pilot list on furlough.
Of course when they've cleaned out all the junior guys from JFnK, another 300 guys will need to go to take their place.
Plus another 150 Captains displaced to the right seat. Which means another 150 senior Captains to JFnK to replace those 150 junior captains that wind up displaced to the right seat and can bid back to Cincy. And then an additional 150 junior FOs get bounced to JFnK to make room for the displaced JFnK Captains who come back to CVG as FOs.
Good thing we didn't bring back any furloughed pilots to help with the current staffing shortage. That would require training. Like there's no training when they furlough...
