Your "simple math"
assumes that all of them will return to AA. I'd venture to say that at least a third, if not closer to a half of all those furloughed, have either found other flying jobs, or have found other "opportunities" outside of aviation all together.Fly safe,

if I had a type rating for every rumor...
No Sh1t, I did hear from an AA capt that he thinks there will be more than 200 retirements within a year. He noted that their fund price is heading into favorable territory and he said there are lot of over 60 pilots deliberating - as evidenced by an increase in sick calls by that group.
But then I don't want to fill you full of blue sky...
