Have you been flying recently? Nearly half of the passengers I've had were deadheading crew. Over half of the rest were non-revs, some of those were crew-members commuting to work or other employees just taking advantage of empty airplanes. The result has been mostly empty airplanes, mostly empty airports, and mostly empty TSA.

Depends upon the length of time one is off the property. Most training programs have a re-qualification program in place along with initial, recurrent, transition and upgrade.

At my company after a leave of absence, furlough included, you just have to take an MV/LOE and then do OOE with a line check. Depending on how long you were gone usually they will give you at least a simulator session or two before you have to take the checkride.

Furloughs at the regionals is a new thing, but in the past, most furloughs lasted years. Mine was 5. When you’re out that long it’s a shortened requal indoc program and then off to the full systems course. This turned out to be serious enough that we have nothing to compare it to. How long this last, or how the industry will look coming out, is anyone’s guess.
