As it was mentioned on the other thread, they already canceled a good portion of our flights for April, in CrewTrac. My awarded scheduled was cut down 95%. I literally have just a handful of legs to fly, as of now.
Company initially said they were cutting 5%, then 40% and after that, I don’t believe they send out an official number. But if we are only flying 300ish flights a day, that’s roughly a 70% reduction, which is in line with most of our peers.

I agree... too early to tell if we are going to have furloughs or not. That’s going to depend on the demand, once the market settles down and all of this is behind us.
Personally, I believe the economy won’t go back to what it was, even by year’s end. The damage is already done. The stimulus bill certainly helps but they had to do something to avoid the bankruptcy of the entire country.

Jetblue must realize that, from the time they pull the trigger, it will be at least 9 or 10 months, maybe closer to a year, before they save any money with a furlough.
Better to offer 50-hour incentive lines each month. Save money now, instead of a year from now, and have the flexibility to change staffing (each seat, plane, and base) every month as the situation develops.

You also have to consider the training costs when the furlough ends and everyone shuffles back to their old seat and equipment.

I'm going to guess the company will push for " circumstances beyond the control of the Company" ( natural disaster? vs. state of the economy)
and that will get furloughed pilots 2 months of pay ( less than 2 years on property...1 month of pay)
