Default Memo - Overstaffed by more than 7000 pilots

Three furloughs in my career. Guess third time wasn’t the charm. 20 years at Delta and here we go again.

7,000 isn’t the number to look at. The 2,500-3,500 overstaffed Q3 2021 is the right number. That puts the cut line as of now somewhere from about January 2016 to January 2017.

Did you read the rest of it where it said 2500-3500 over staffed for nest summer? I am fairly confident we are not furloughing 50% of the list.

3500 pilots would go back to March of 2016

2500 pilots is Jan of 2017

I did see that. I’m just concerned about knee jerk reactions here.

No only ~3000 of it. But hey it's better than 7000 right?

I thought the furlough plan was going to based off of the summer 2022 fleet, not 2021. Didn't we talk about that vid somewhere on here from BS?

Lot of friends over with you guys - hopefully this turns quickly and we’re all fine in our careers.

The AE memo was just released. Check your email.
Some highlights:
ER closing in SLC, MSP, DTW
717 closing in MSP, NYC
10,730 active pilot positions (a reduction of about 2,500 positions)

What it means is SW and JB have the green light to grow!

Not furloughing 50%... that would be straight to Ch.11 anyway.
