I am sure there are pilots with 1200 hours or more furloughed, but there are also a few 600 hour pilots. These pilots may have been given a break due to previous 121 experience, but they are 600-hour pilots none the less. Why don't you research next time before trying to discredit someone?
Alright so you might be right about the two guys from skyway. I only said I knew about 3 of the 5ish classes of furloughed. 1200 was on the lowest of time in my class. Your original tone was trying to say that all the furloughs have 600 hours and a month of OE, which is the exception not the case. So I'm going to set it straight, thats it. Frankly I'm not too concerned how all 3 pilot groups furloughs are integrated because it won't be pretty for anyone.
