At least at PSA, the word is 12 months of d2r. No zed, no jumpseat

I believe it is only for those who take the voluntary furlough.

Yes, looks like no travel benefits then.

When you are furloughed, you are not an employee any more, so AAG travel benefits do not apply to you.

For Envoy maybe, but in previous furloughs, other airlines considered a furloughed pilot still part of the company just temporary not needed. I believe they will continue to offer full travel benefits for the duration of the furlough, with the obvious exception of CASS and KCM.

It depends on the contracts as well. Some contracts have it in there that pilots get nonrev benefits during furlough

PDT pilots keep benefits if they take a voluntary furlough. Supposedly PSA pilots also retain benefits for involuntary furlough, but I’m not sure how accurate that is. Maybe someone else can confirm it.

I’m just gonna sit back and wait for the FAQ from the union. Would much rather trust their lawyers and braintrusts than some random chat room lawyer on the internet. Oh, I know, shocking concept, but I’m going to risk it.
