I'm sure somebody already covered this, but how deep is January 23, 2016? Meaning how many pilots are on the list hired after this date? DOH is not on the seniority list, which is asinine. The company has to remove 6 seats out of all the 76 seaters if 1 dude hired before 1/23/16 is furloughed, also nobody hired before 1/23/16 can be furloughed without 90 days notice. Another couple of nuggets from the Extension.
12/2015 is about 2400 from the bottom
so
1/23/2016 will be about 2300 +/-

I’m hoping Kirby hates to lose and is preparing for the upcoming fight, knowing that SW is our biggest competition in the recovery. We will be able to meet international demand no problem. I hope we flood the domestic market and fight hard to protect as many of our gates as possible and make sure we are not the weakest animal in the jungle when Southwest comes hunting for market share

They will lose that argument. Maybe they had a case if they had done this in March but not after a 6 month reprieve. Plus it is of their control they chose to reduce flying. Is it the viruses fault yes but no one said you have to stop flying X number of flights they chose to because it’s not economically viable. Had the government shut things down completely then they maybe would have an argument

Same or similar language now as was in Contact 2000 when the 9/11 furloughs were announced 2 weeks after the attacks. CEO said we would “perish” . Still paid the furlough pay, even without all the gov’mt cash we are receiving now. They’ll pay. Hard yes. Watch.
