block hours cannot exceed a percentage of mainline block hours. So it’s a real possibility the RJs get parked. Also if any pilot hired prior to 2016 gets furloughed ALL 76 seat RJs must go to 70 seats.
of course all of this has a outside the companies control caveat but there is a time limit on that as well so nothing will happen with RJs soon. Also most of the block hours are looked at on a rolling 12 month scale.......

With the WHO reporting the death rate may be 3.4% from this virus (an increase from previous estimates) and seeing the behavioral reaction in Japan and South Korea (pandemic fiction books becoming reality) it seems very possible our economy is going to get hit very hard.
I am planning on being furloughed this year, I doubt I will be able to retain my job. I also think the previous decade of profits and growth of the airline industry is now over. There will be a new normal in the years to come.

I'm not worried about the virus, but I am concerned about my fellow humans who are going to make this a lot worse than it needs to be. Seems like the globe could use some leadership at this point.
Also, I'll argue the airline industry (or, at least our profession) never went back to pre-9/11 normality. Compensation is still a good 30% below what it was prior to 9/11.

Things are cyclical, I agree.
