I doubt there will be official acknowledgement of a total number from this fiasco, either.

I guess it would make sense to simplify the fleets at some point (maybe on the King Air, XL/XLS and X) if they want to save the business. Certainly painful for those people released. For those interested, I know the regionals are still hiring (including into the left seat) and paying better than ever these days.

This article says 11% of pilots were laid off, concentrated in the KingAir Fleet. Did they lay off by seniority or by equipment?

Wheels Up peeps,
I am so sorry to hear about the reduction in force there.. Having 5 furloughs under my belt, I know where you are coming from. I hear that the pilots were ruthlessly terminated, not respectfully furloughed with recall rights. Is this true? If so, the word should be spread about what they did and we should alll make them own it.
Best of luck to you all duing these challenging times..
