Incidentally, in another clause (1-I-1) anyone hired after 23 Jan16 is not entitled to 90 days notice if furloughed. I was hoping the company would be more transparent. After all, O.M. said we are “family “.

2300 is pretty close. I keep a close eye since I’m within 200 or so of it! Like everything else in aviation, believe it when your bottom is in the seat. I would have preferred an answer of “nope, don’t think we’ll need to take seats out” but worst case planning should include furloughing that deep I suppose. As of now I can still hope it’s just a what if plan - I’ll be much more worried when/if the first seats start getting pulled.
