Depends.....

With regard to things included under the "can't control" clause, "natural disaster" is listed

Under things that do not fall under the "can't control" clause, "state of the economy"

Which category COVID-19 falls under is up to the judge....your guess is as good as mine

Depends on the plan. If its a weaksauce all employees plan not tailored to pilots then that will be a hard number to achieve. If its a pilot tailored plan like AAL's then that number or a bit higher is very realistic.

Correct. To add on, if Delta claims this was out of their control then it's down to a maximum of 2 months furlough pay.

Two months at the lowest pay rate in service no less. And how can anyone claim that this is within Delta’s control? Especially when all the other majors are furloughing at the same time.

But with them not taking all available help from the government it makes it hard to believe that they did all that they could either

Maybe having a few of those buyback $$s as an emergency fund to withstand a 9/11 style event would have been prudent. So, yes, technically a virus is not in their control, but how we weather it is definitely in our control. Was 9/11 in our control? Oil at $140/barrel?

I agree

Between now and the end of 2022 1868 will retire.

If furloughs start paying off at 24 months and we furlough October 1, 2020 the company would have to imagine we are over by more than 1800.

That would put us below 13,000 pilots system wide.
I'm confident we will need more than 13,000 pilots for 2022 summer flying.

I hope you're right. Is it possible they intentionally keep the company smaller and stretch out the recovery? Would allow them to manage load factors better in the recovery and possibly sell tickets for more $. Another possibility is that 24 months isn't the break even for furloughs (as some older and wiser posters have pointed out) and it's actually much shorter or doesn't matter because they need to save cash now. I hope your estimate is correct but I think folks need to be preparing for the worst.

I couldn’t agree more, but I don’t see being able to make that argument stick from a contract language standpoint. The buybacks were a business decision that very few business people found imprudent. In light of that fact, I don’t think hindsight will be a factor when applying the contract language.
