Holy thread resurrection. But in all seriousness, regardless of utility in predicting the future, the original simple question was never answered. I think a rough WAG seems to be somewhere between 10-15% for most recent-ish events

Soon after, United parked several B747-400s.
Then came 2008-09. All pilots had been recalled and UA had even hires some nubes. Glenn Tilton wanted to right size the airline for a CO merger. He parked the entire B737-300/500 fleet (94 aircraft ) and another 6 B747-400s. This led to the furlough of yet another 1400+.

Funny how as soon as United's Guppy fleet was parked and over 1400 pilots furloughed that a merger was announced.

I have noticed tons of new memberships popping up during the coronavirus shutdown. I don’t if it’s just random people wanting to screw around out of boredom, regular members who make burner accounts to troll, or what. Strange stuff.
