Reality is the government is RIGHTLY propping us up. But we have contracts. We have a certain number of airplanes. We have TOO MUCH STAFF. Once the govt support ends, without concessions, there will be furloughs.
That said - if we do find more flying I’ll be wrong and happy for be wrong. But if we lose the 20 planes AA can pull we will certainly furlough. We are far from out of the woods.

That was a few weeks ago, but that’s what I remember. Heard from a few other CA’s also that we are no longer dual seat qualified.

Once that slows we are very over staffed.
