I won’t because you might as well pi$$ into the wind for all the good it will do to save jobs. Execs will take part of your paycheck and then give themselves bonuses for cutting costs.

I certainly won’t. Our salary’s have nothing to do with furloughs. Our pay cuts won’t solve anything except make you feel better until the c suite screws you for it. Any newb that isn’t saving serious money right now is crazy.

This is the way. Concessions are a scam. They will take your concessions and then furlough anyhow. This has always been the way management behaves. Don't fall for it. Max pay to the last day.

I tend to think furlough rumors are way out of line at this point. Last I heard there's a capacity crunch (thanks boeing) which drives up prices and RASM.
Unless somebody is seeing a precipitious decline in summer and winter holiday bookings?
Would I believe NK furloughs? Yeah. SW? I don't think so. Interested, impartial observer.

Not intending to troll or be a FUD distributor. Have had a few other FO’s mention to me that union guys are starting to talk about it on trips. I have not personally heard anything direct myself.
Hence why I’m asking all of the people here who seem to be more well connected than me.
I come from 135, so this is my first airline. Furlough stuff is all new to me.

My first year, I was in a “new FO” chat group at my base. I had to exit it. What a bunch of whiny, scared, weirdos that perpetuated every stupid and unbelievable rumor. It made me feel bad for the El Capitans that had to fly with these guys. This is a perfect example…

For what it's worth I just finished a trip and the last FO (rerouted trip of course) said what the original poster said. The FO told me he was in a lounge when a union rep, who the FO named, stated that Elliot wants to furlough 2,500 pilots.
This very well could be EIM spreading their own FUD but this rumor is floating around.
