If one were to be furloughed on probation or even still in class, are they protected/guaranteed to be on the recall list or will they be SOL?

A pilot on probation is treated just like a pilot not on probation as far as recall goes. They can't just terminate probationary pilots.

So, if you're on military orders up until your class date, and due to all this, your military orders get extended overlapping your class date, expect to be put into the deferred class pool?

Then fight to get some more orders? :D

We're cutting the flying 20% in April and 25% in May. The latest vacancy award showed 2,511 pilots. That means the bottom 502 and 628 respectively will not be needed for the next 75 days. Wuhan at day 105 is returning to normal with temporary hospitals being torn down and factories being reopened. If you think the economy will roar back and demand will surge then I'd take a class date. If you doubt that then I'd stay put. Furloughs suck. Been there, done that.

I disagree. How many will call in sick in April and May? How many will get the virus and have to self quarantine? How many will need to quarantine because of a sick family member? I don’t think it’s as simple as chopping off the bottom 20% and 25%.

Currently we have 2580 on property with a class I believe that started this past Monday. I feel as if that was the case, they would have offered the VTLOA starting April.

Just checked the MOU and Ted's latest letter and saw no mention of VLOA.

It’s in the MOU the union sent out. Effective for the MAY bid.
