Default April and may solution

for 2 months only for a start I am willing to work less and not for less

So I suggest

Every single pilot flying or TK or management gets 50 hrs credit for the month at their hourly rate.
man power decides how many they need to fly and or reserve per seniority and the rest stay home.
monthly pilot payroll will be around more or less 60 percent of what is usually monthly .

last I check pilot payroll is around 3.2 billion per year with flight ops budget of 4 billion or so
that will be almost 800 million or so saving for the company for 2 months and after that we shall see and act based on how things going

No furloughs
my choice if I had the magic wand

If I had a magic wand I’d let our elected representatives negotiate on our behalf.

I doubt that and think about
450 retiring every year given or take the company will be calling the seating home flyers as they need them and when all back everything back to normal schedules

I doubt that as well. Even the worst pandemic in history, the Spanish Flu, fizzled out after 18 months. The sun will still rise tomorrow and the next day. Life WILL return to normal, and you'll be able to buy toilet paper again. Relax, deep breath, and don't worry about stuff you have no control over.

There wasn’t a global airline industry around to destroy in 1918.

It may end in 18 months, but life will not return to normal for this generation if it's 1918.

"The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide—about one-third of the planet's population—and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans."

World population today is 7.5 billion.
