So essentially, the big hooray about recalling furloughs and hiring new FOs isn’t because things are good at NK. NK is doing those things because pilots are bailing out. The new hires will simply be a revolving door that increases costs for NK.

Hard to say, we don't have access to a dynamic seniority list. 2147 on the "unofficial" March seniority list posted by ALPA. 511 of those are furloughed, but many of those are voluntary furloughs. The junior active pilot on the March list was #1714, March 2023 hire. Sounds like 100 or so are taking the recall, 171 left in March, and I heard 80 already for April.

In a given month there are about 20 training pilots and maybe 10 management pilots. I could be wrong but I don’t think there were that many voluntary furloughs still on the list. We’ll see soon as all furloughs are getting kicked off the list soon.
