yes, this is why united got hit so hard the first go around...ewr and ord.
they just doubled the flights in my hub..with this spike, i'm guessing they'll erase some flights.

That's the funny thing. Before the recent spike, we were slated to double our flight schedule, and increase in August. It was announced internally last week. But with the restrictions / quaratine that the Tri-State area, those will be reduced,

It is a killer hit. This virus situation is so bad that it could change how the airline industry is handled by governments. It really looks like another large bailout will be needed or multiple bankruptcy cases will emerge. The airlines are no doubt letting the government know just how severe this is and what the end result will be without major government involvement. The crap hits the fan soon.
Being reported by a source that has proven reliable up-to 2800 FSC furloughs:

Seems low percentage wise. I wish there were no layoffs, but I'm expecting it to be worse than that.
Prob low because there going to give into pay concessions
I did get an email that warn letters are coming out this week

According to email from the CLT briefing the union was notified today that next week WARN letters will go out. But no numbers as of now as to how many will be furloughed
System load factor dropped about 7% from last week it's hard to tell if it's the spike or the big increase in flights . While the hub flights are okay they added some point to point flying where I'm at, places like CMH,RDU etc and though they are eagle flights they're lucky to have 15 people on them.Who knows what the break even load factor is in this environment

WARN deadlines are approaching, which is why you saw UA issue their release. One of my friends heard that the cuts are going as deep as 2002 seniority in some workgroups... I can't imagine having 18 years and being on the bubble...
That's just kicking the can for the inevitable.
Yep, AA does appear to suck less than DL and UA because they have less international to deal with, but that may be temporary. Europe and Asia are on the upswing, and Brasil and Latin America are a ways off from any meaningful recovery...
Which union?
And BTW, If you're TWU always expect the worst.............cause that's usually what happens!
AMFA NOW!
To me, 2800 sounds more like a number for maintenance not fleet.. No surprise that a fleet rep on the IAM side says WARN letters coming next week.. the first time I received a warning letter it was hand delivered by my supervisor, the second one I received a few years later came FedEx..
I agree there are 10,500 maint and related
18,500 fleet service
2,500 sounds about right for maintenance. I see fleet getting wacked a little heavier
Holy crap. That's 45% of United's employees. Remember AA said 20-30%, will they now have to increase those numbers to match or at least better to compete with cost? I hope they don't just as you say, monkey see, monkey do just because they can. I was NOT expecting that large of a number from United.
I did read one article that broke the numbers down with 5500-5900 being in maint at United. And I think Towbar posted around 40% that is huge % compared to what AA announced around 20-30%.
I also assume that all these numbers will be less after employees take the leaves and Early Outs, question is how much less??? The United numbers are, to say the least, scary.
