So it's a pure coincidence huh? The company said they would be overstaffed by 1,600. Then they furlough 1,600. And it's a coincidence.

Not official yet, the word is "anticipated". I'm just saying.

Man I wish. But you have SWA, SPIRIT, JET BLUE all saying no involuntary furloughs even without Cares 2. No word of furloughs at SKY WEST either. So is PSP 2.0 needed? Or is it just propping up the big 3?

Yeah read the memo they were gonna furlough over 2100 and we mitigated it back to the starting point.

So 1,605 pilots being involuntarily furloughed along with 522 ZTL in lieu of furlough pilots makes 2,127 on either a regular furlough or a ZTL furlough...So what was the starting point of furloughs for the company??? 2,500 or 2,300??? how many did these measures SAVE anyone from being furloughed or pushed into a ZTL?

I thought it was 1605? Sounds like a coincidence to me. No clue about any ZTL numbers or any of that stuff. I thought it was gonna be way worse than it was.

Missed it by that much! Guess I’ll go learn how to weld or maybe try some of that new fangled computer hacking programmer coding the kids are all talking about.

And what about the month on/month off option? Where is that?

Right. or maybe the permanent leaves. Yea... about that... Solid LOAs that were so good they got approved 20-0

Least they can do now is push AA to Mmax every month to 80
