The company is approving all leaves of absence and you can take any other job. There are some reasons you may want to wait to see how this shakes out. If you take a LOA you want to make sure you can transition to furlough status if your number gets furloughed. I think I read the company will allow that but I would check and verify.

Deltanet > Flight Operations > Administration > Pilot Leaves) allows you to maintain seniority and accrue longevity as well, though. And there are some other benefits they threw into the package, FYI.

The chance of furloughs at Delta with the way our contract is structured is almost zero. In addition to the contractual issues the structure of the fleet makes furloughs with under a 2 year expectation of return simply not viable. If I worked for a airline with a limited number of fleet types I would be far more concerned.
What should be a concern at Delta is we are working with a amendable contract. The company has the ability to rewrite the contract without going through the chapter 11 process. If this virus progresses as some predict, it may well be the company requesting a release to self help in the fall not the union.

Sailingfun, has your opinion changed? I don’t work for Delta, but I saw the memo somehow. It didn’t say the F-word, but it did say over staffed by 7000 this fall improving to 2500 by Fall of 2021. This post that I quoted is a couple months old. What is the latest outlook for you guys?

Pure clickbait.
I'm sure then that you saw the United "memo" that said they only need 5000 out of 25,000 FA's?
Again, out of context clickbait nonsense.
This is a lot less insane, but we stil don't know. I suspect they will announce 2000-2500 furloughs, then adjust the bid before it gets to that point to closer to 1500-2000. As they impliment that "plan" based on extremely limited and rapidly changing data based off a snapshot with guesses thrown in, as reality unfolds the "plan" and the "memo" will be adjusted to reflect that, and actual furloughs could be quite a it less under some realistic scenarios. Or they could overreact now, only to recall many hundreds very quickly (as in well prior to the 18-24 month ROI estimate often cited).
Do something Lieutenant, even if its wrong! That's where they are right now, with a dash of FUD thrown in just to see if they can claw back a little extra on general principle.
No one truly knows how all the variables will shake out. That includes management, and it especially includes anything that comes from a "memo".
