If we were about to furlough, wouldn’t they drop the current new hires? They have new hires in sims this week

I hear this a lot. There’s a stark difference between Spirit making it through this and you personally making it through this. It doesn’t help you much that Spirit is doing great if you’re furloughed.

On the other hand, a furlough at a domestic and leisure only airline would be fairly quick I think. Much quicker than some of the others that handle 50% business traffic.
