The result has been mostly empty airplanes, mostly empty airports, and mostly empty TSA.

Here’s a question, relatively new to the industry. When a pilot is recalled from furlough, do they start back day 1 of indoc to get qualified. Or if it a short ground school AQP type situation if lapsed?

It has nothing to do with flying recently, the numbers can still be shocking to see them.

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.

Yes, when you are furloughed you keep your seniority number and come back at whatever longevity pay scale you were at.
