If anyone is ready to accept concessions, read this post over and over until you come to your senses.

If they’re going to furlough 1,941 on October 1, we can assume they’ll be parking the -220 until they get all the replacements trained?

Folks, let's all remember that 1941 of US, our brothers and sisters, just got massively bad news today. Even if you knew it was likely coming, it's still hard news for a family to take.

Did management already offer the 60/60 thing to the non cons?

For anyone who cares, by the numbers management threw out last month, Delta currently has enough cash on hand to operate for 17 months. Being generous, keeping those 1941 pilots on UNA status costs roughly $1M a day. The difference between furloughing and not is about 20 days.
This does not include any sort of revenue increase or voluntary cost saving measures that could otherwise be implemented.
Let's be clear, Delta does not have to furlough. If they truly believed in their own values, they would have tried other measures before jumping straight to the nuclear option, or simply bit the bullet and tried keeping us on staff until things really get dire, working towards a future where things never get that far.
I, more than anything, am disappointed to have my cynicism confirmed.
