I'd say better than 50/50 considering past records...

with all this talk about SkyWest never furloughing any pilots, isnt it true however, that they did talk with certain pilots, who did then stop flying. So the company did contract somewhat, it was just under somewhat (technically) different circumstances than a "furlough". Maybe also other pilots flew fewer hours to account?
Not trying to be argumentative, just asking. Thats the way I read the literature on SkyWest during the downturn....

The only reason we didn't furlough was that it was cheaper to pay out 75 hours a month, than pay for a bunch of retraining and domicile displacements.
Being on reserve for years and only flying a couple days a month was common.
