Putting an ax to furloughed guys that don't meet the requirements? I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind that statement.

Furloughing them in the first place is an attempt to right size the company. Further giving them an ax? Not sure what that would accomplish. If anything grandfathering them in would help offset the pain management will see with finding qualified pilots in 2012 during the hiring boom.
