I agree they could furlough at anytime. I just don't think they can do it and fly any or all of the acft while maintaining a 48/61 min guarantee.
No. Never out of seniority order. Start at the bottom of the seniority list and work your way up. This would have pulled bodies out of each of the "junior" seats. The '48/61 min guarantee' you mention is a minimum bid periord guarantee. Anything less than that would be bought up to that level. It isn't a "can't build above" threshold.
