Clarification on flyExclusive
Hey MCRN,
Great work putting this thread up about the current training/hiring freezes, furloughs, and closures.
I just wanted to clarify the part about flyExclusive considering furloughing pilots. While this was mentioned as a possibility in a video from our President, it was mentioned only as a last resort after a several phase response to this crisis. This would only be done after voluntary/military leaves were offered, a possible, temporary schedule change to 15/13, the postponing of bonuses, pay cuts from Managers first, and several other steps first. Of course, if the NAS shuts down, probably most of us would be furloughed until the airspace opens back up. Let’s hope that that isn’t for too long..
Again, thanks for your hard work getting this thread going.

I’m curious about the workings of the stimulus bill. If an airline takes govt money, they can’t furlough until the Fall, and the govt pays the pilots salaries. So 10,000 pilots at a Major, with an average salary of $250k/yr each, are going to sit home this summer and get full pay. Is that right?
