Best numbers I could find to use in a calculation comes up with 1737 West pilots. Since late August when the most recent West bid was published, there have been 40 West pilot recalls. That should bring us to 1638 "active" West pilots, with 99 West pilots on furlough.

So by my estimation, that would also give us 3388 East pilots on the list. By mid-November there will have been 55 East pilot recalls. That should break down to 3359 "active" East pilots, with 29 East pilots on furlough.

The furlough committee says that we will only have 125 pilots on furlough, instead of the 128 pilots (99+29) that I calculated above. I'm guessing that three of the furloughs have already indicated to the company that they will not be returning?
