Kind of. DP was referencing the forecast that was on the vacancy bid I believe which seemed to have a consensus that after all other factors puts us at 1,200 over. I’m new in this game but I think it’s too soon to tell and there would be other signals if we were closer to furlough (larger VPLOA approvals by the company and maybe lowering of age requirement).

My personal number is at least 20% off the bottom.
If a company is going to furlough, it usually the first 10% go rather quickly and then the next 10% would go almost a year later.
Unless things are really, really bad then it would be 50%. (We aren't there)

I still think the numbers that Dougie floated are posturing and managing expectations.

I don't dislike DP but I would feel far more comfortable if he was in line with Delta and United on future expectations. SW can afford to bet the farm but for us its do or die. We certainly can hope for more aid but that will largely be out of our hands. The good news is that from the most junior to the most senior we are all in this together. At this point furloughing will provide only marginal relief and probably not enough time to make a difference. It will be tough but I know for myself and the guys I work with life will go on and we will all make the best of it. Its been a nice run while it lasted though!

If you're referencing the people who are pulling down statues of Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt--sorry to say but I'd guess that they're all for it.

Late Aug..

JCBA.. Furlough V.3

Would I be wrong in thinking that the WARN act would apply to us, thus requiring a 60 day advance notice of furlough?

Good point, didn’t think of the WARN act. I change my answer to: late July
