I have no doubt there will be some furloughs at some stage, but hopefully with the mix of unpaid leave takers (Plus I know a number of senior captains who are going to retire early due to this) reduced credit lines, A LOT of cash on hand and cheap oil among other factors will offset the number they would need to look at.
From the numbers I’ve crunched and including all trainees already sent home which was quite a few, my estimate was around 18 to 25% at the most at this stage, I don’t have access to nearly a fraction of the data management uses to figure these things out however. I truly hope it’s zero percent though.

retrain is only an issue if you actually need to move people from the left seat to the right seat or from one aircraft to another.
what if you selectively furlough - out of seniority order?
think of it as a by-pass just like the regular practice.
operational need and such.

Cliff notes from this mornings SAPA call>
Lots of interest in VLOA but 2 week callback seems to be an issue with interested volunteers?
If VLOA doesn’t meet staffing requirements then looking at reduced line credit for reserve and line holders. Possible down to 62/72?
Last option is furlough.
New hires sent home are in limbo as to status, SAPA is bringing this up everyday for a better answer, “limbo” cannot continue.
Stay safe out there.

Just interviewed with Sky west on Monday. It appears that the four people in our group all got rejection emails. They’ve also closed down their training classes and sent all the trainees home. There’s also a gentleman at my Flight school who was supposed to report in three weeks and he has been told not to report. So apparently SkyWest has shut down training during the Corona crisis.
