Airlines will hire this month to cover flights next month even while they are printing furlough letters for the month after that. Manpower managers at airlines don't get fired for training a pilot and then furloughing him a few weeks down the road. They do get fired for cancelling flights due to predictable staff shortages.
An airline making a silly financial decision? Wow, imagine that!
