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.

Everyone else’s speculation, accusation, and condemnations don’t mean a lot to a guy who’s at the point where the rubber meets the road. I’m terribly sorry you (and the other 1,599 pilots) are taking the brunt of this. I *REALLY* hope it’s short lived and I wish you the best of luck during your separation.

For us on the bottom of the dog pile...
For those at the bottom of the dog pile what would some of the senior pilots recommend we do? In my estimation, which frankly is a total shot in the dark, I cannot see the bottom 500 getting called back until at least 18 months out. We've dumped a bunch of planes, many of those set to retire have already jumped off, so I'm thinking I may need to brush up on my hardware skills. Thoughts? Yes, I have a family and children who depend upon me. No boat payment though, so there's that. Yes, I do have savings but two years is a serious stretch and I just road out that first year pay.

Assuming I can’t land a flying job anywhere, my plan is to get an appointment with a career counselor at the local college. Hopefully they can match my skills and experience to a trade that’s growing and pays okay. From there my plan is the typical rat race - just work harder and better than anyone else and work my way up into management. If we sell everything I think we can make it long enough for me to pick up a trade.
