The question is how many of these people have gone on to other jobs. I know a few people who were furloughed early on at places like Comair and are now at Compass, Lynx, Colgan etc. I know it's not many, but I'm guessing maybe 5-10% of the total number, maybe less. Add on top of that people that are fed up with airlines all together and will never take a recall. I know a lot of people have moved on with ATC, sales, or other jobs.

I'm just saying this number doesn't really mean much. There are a s*&t load of people furloughed right now. That's all we need to know...
