I found the 6 month duration but I can’t find any independent reference but I guess we will know Sept 15th!
I’m currently reading through a Cornell Law copy of the Law, and the 6 months seams to have something to do with it being considered as an “employment loss” as far as what that has to do with notification I’m still trying to dig around for, because right now I’m not seeing anything that makes notification or anything at all really different between the two.

As far as the 20 hours per week I’d imagine that duty time is what you need to be looking at there and not credit time. In that case pretty much all of us are around 35-40 hours a week. Time required to
be at work is work, irregardless if paid or not.

Sadly I think Wikipedia is wrong on the 6 month thing but do I think Mesa would use Wikipedia for their legal reference? Well ....

Haha, with legal council from the stoner that once did a week and a half of internship at one of those personal injury law firms that screams through their commercials. “I’m Jim Adler, the Texas Hammer!”

So yes you absolutely can furlough without putting out a WARN notice. If you believe that you have to send a WARN act notice to furlough anyone you are extremely mistaken.
Thanks terks for "schooling" me, I get it. But that didn't stop the same management a few weeks ago from warning the union there would be WARN letters. And now they realize they don't have to.

It wouldn't make sense financially to furlough short term for that 6 month period anyway at least I wouldn't think so. If they furlough I would assume it would be for over a year as a minimum to make financial sense to the bean counters.

You never know with Mesa they flush probably hundreds of thousands of dollars down the toilet on unused Sim time and refuse to fire the person doing it.

You left out the part where they lost the previous person doing it that actually knew what she was doing because they refused to give her a pay raise and her replacement immediately lost 6 figures in unused, but already paid for, sim time.
