Default Compilation of Furlough Numbers

I've been thinking that with so many airlines starting to park airplanes, furlough, ask for concessions, etc - I'm having a hard time keeping up with it all. In my attempt to catalog everything, I thought it gave kind of an interesting perspective of where the industry is at...

So I thought maybe we could keep a running thread on just the facts, so everyone can get a look at what's going on. Please, no commentary, rumors, etc. We can start a new thread for that - but this could be a thread everyone could just go to quickly to get the facts.

Listed below is what I know for sure. Feel free to post your own to the list.

Just a thought:


There will be some overlap here, as pilots who were either furloughed or let go completely from failing airlines probably worked their way back into other carriers.

(To be let go again at the end of summer?????? . . . )
