What seniority do you need to be to say that you definitely aren’t going to get furloughed? Clearly you are senior to me. Otherwise, it sounds like we are in similar situations while my dequal-ed self awaits right seat retraining. Or a warn notice. 🙄

I disagree. I’m 9,000ish now and, based on both emails with my union rep and company communications, am very concerned about being furloughed. I don’t think it’s likely, but absolutely possible.

I’m hoping that we don’t go that deep, but it is also a very real possibility. The company has been pretty consistent with their 30% figure and the recovery has been worse than they thought. My hope is that with the next batch of WARN letters they offer another early out offer so that people can reconsider a voluntary separation so that involuntary separations are reduced. The bottleneck at TK affects how fast we can furlough and then recover. The part that worries me is that after the seasonal leisure travel drops off soon, and with hardly any business travel, very few pilots will be needed and they can possibly furlough faster than in previous years.

I assume you meant to say "United Continental Holdings, Inc." which does not exist anymore. The official name of the corporation was changed to United Airlines Holdings, Inc. in June of 2019.
