not so sure. Early out programs at the majors will significantly reduce, and possibly eliminate the need for furloughs at that level. I know Alaska won’t be furloughing due to getting enough participants. If the majors don’t furlough, once the music starts, things will move much faster without the majors having to call back and retrain thousands of guys.

I wonder how that would work for everyone that was already in training with a signed bonus contract? Be interested in the basis for voiding the bonus agreement.
That said, these guys in the pool have heard more than the furloughed pilots from training. It is radio silence here.

You sound bitter. Were you a flight attendant? Is that why you are trolling a Mesa forum even though you don’t work here? Still didn’t answer the previous question of where you work now? Ashamed to say?

Looks like 3 from DFW if my guess is correct. All senior

Isn’t the initial cadre always check airmen? I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how it’s supposed to work. Unless I misheard that somewhere.

The standing bid was for 2 CA/ 6 FO. I saw the numbers change in PBS for this bid period. They took 3 out of Dallas I’m guessing. I could be wrong. Standing bid Notice came out but wasn’t revealed who got it.
