Delta hasn't announced any flight attendant furloughs but sent out 2558 pilot furlough notices.

My guess is they are looking at international being severely restricted until either this thing fizzles out/Hurd immunity or we get a viable vaccine. With each country mandating a two week quarantine to fly there who’s going to want to go?
I would surmise we are focusing on domestic and they can easily bring back more F/A‘s if the situation changes for the better.
It’s also easier to recall them since they are trained on the whole fleet unlike a pilot who is fleet specific.

I just hope within the U.S. that we don’t start getting this two week quarantine B.S. between the states as that would kill off any domestic recovery. Looks like NY NJ and CT are leading the pack on this.
i think I read this is already killing some future bookings.

Trolls don’t care - as long as people react they’re happy.

MoP, I like your posts, but let’s hold off on victory dances and spiking the ball. Karma is a mother... let him be a D-bag. The game hasn’t started, they just showed us the starting line up. Let’s hope/pray he was off by more than 3000. Best wishes to all.

So anyone know what hire date the FA's could be furloughed to? And spare me the obvious 1930's jokes

WARN letters are free this was the companies opportunity to make a splash. I get that they can always do more but at some point you need to stop being a skeptic they could have sent out 7000 WARNS and it wouldn’t have meant a damn thing. So the question is why didn’t they?

i will concede that if things get worse there may be another round but we are much further along than the 2nd inning.
