I might be alone in this but maybe they should just re-furlough the pilots they aren't planning on using. Why post higher costs than necessary? To qualify for additional subsidy? This is a terrific situation for those pilots and I'm happy for them, but it doesn't seem like the right time to be paying people training gaurantee to do nothing. This exaggerates our costs and makes other ops more appealing from AAG's standpoint.

Also, I don’t envy those furloughees at all. It’s far from a sweet deal. Yes they are paid right now for nothing, but that is only guaranteed for a couple of months. I’m sure quite a few of them have gone back to their CFI/corporate/military jobs they had previously. That’s probably a one time lifeline for most. You can’t just quit and come crawling back every 3 months.
If you are 23 and still have your mom doing your laundry, it may not be that big of a deal, but that is definitely NOT everybody.

The government is giving them 70% (I think) of overall payroll in exchange for paying 200~ FO’s. They’d been insane not to take that.

as of now, no. They sit at home and collect the paycheck. I personally know 6 that will never comeback, so there has to be a lot more than that too. So when things actually do start improving we will have to hire too. Also according to the new seniority list, we’ve lost about 65 pilots anyway.
