I know the furloughed guys can't call in or get on EPIC, but during the "JFnK expansion QnA conference call" last week, crew forcasting/planning said exactly that. They were "live" at the time, and a lot comes out that wouldn't get included on an "official memo to pilots". An additional 200 furloughs were anticipated for this spring but the JFK flying has put these furloughs on hold until at least September.
If you have access to EPIC you can download the censored audio. I don't know if that comment was supposed to be revealed to the listeners so it may not be on the recording anymore.

I was furloughed in January and I really miss flying on Jetblue. Hopefully if you guys ever start hiring again, they will call me for an interview. I love JFK and would love to fly for Jetblue.

What are you talking about?
Who says an additional 200 furloughs?
As you said "what happens in September?"...is quite the question...
While i don't put it past Comair to furlough into the current captains, we don't know what's going to happen.
Don't get everyone's panty hose bunched up by saying "200 furloughs" like it's a certainty, people will run with it and pretty soon they'll be quitting because they think they're gonna get furloughed in sep.......on second hand...
This just in..Comair to furlough all but 4 pilots.....12/2/78 seniority date required to hold CVG 50 FO!

Comair's summer plan had called for another severe reduction in hours and an additional 200 pilot furloughs.
This "additional flying" means less of a decrease, so they're spinning it as an increase. They have said no new pilot furloughs will be required through September.
Of course, that begs the question: "what happens in September?"
Funny how Freedom can't do the job so they uproot 15-year Comair guys and send them to JFnK with the sympathy line "we understand completely if you decide Comair may not be the right company for you any more"
They tell us that all of DCI's regionals are hurting right now. Right. Are any of them looking at one third of their pilots on furlough and 10 years seniority to stay in the left seat?
