I don’t know the details. Seems like other airlines were able to furlough trainees also?

Airlines can furlough up to 10% and still be in compliance with the CARES act.

Only for the loan, not the grant. No airline has received any loan money.

Gonna do this again...

That 96% number is free cash flow, not profits. That number is also skewed by AA, which spent $12.9B on buybacks with almost $8B of negative free cash flow.

Remove AA, and the number is more like 60%, which is close to S&P averages.

Unless things have changed you aren’t considered a pilot on the seniority list till you complete your LOE.

So if they aren’t seniority list pilots, is it really furlough?
