WARN Act and Furloughs
Does anyone have any familiarity or experience with the WARN Act and how it does/doesn't apply to airline furloughs?
It seems there are some exemptions an airline could possibly claim, but some would be a stretch of an interpretation. Curious if anyone can shed any light on this...
Thanks.

Delta considers it to be a requirement. Or at least a nice gesture.

Well here are a couple possible exemptions that I can see:
The WARN Act is NOT activated when:
"If 50 to 499 workers lose their jobs and that number is less than 33 percent of the employer’s total, active workforce at a single employment site"
Or:
"Faltering company: When, before a plant closing, a company is actively seeking capital or business and reasonably, in good faith, believes that advance notice would preclude its ability to obtain such capital or business, and this new capital or business would allow the employer to avoid or postpone the shutdown for a reasonable period;" - where the "plant" would the 747-200's.
Just a consideration... thoughts?
