Coming from the guy that downplayed this virus and the effects it would have in the first place. And you continue to downplay it. Furloughs are furloughs, bud. Glad you think so highly of those pilots that “didn’t even make it to sims yet.” Wow.

As one of the furloughed pilots; It sucks. It ****ing sucks to lose everything you have been working towards for the past 5 years. But we will make it through, it will be okay. I just hope that this move doesnt impact the CARES act, because then hundreds of pilots would also be losing their jobs.

OO does not consider pilot trainees as employees, so they most likely initially sent them home without pay.
As the CARES act criteria became clear, I think they decided they would need to keep paying them in order to retain their eligibility. May have been a missed paycheck in there, but I'm pretty sure they should be on the payroll from now until 01 Oct.
I wouldn't give OO too much credit, they just didn't want to try to split hairs with congress over the exact definition of "furlough".

The LOL was referring to the OP, nothing to do with the pilots that were furloughed. If you knew this guys post history about RPA on a regular basis and his attitude on the line you’d understand.
