The 80% rule is a combo of ASA/Skywest, not just Skywest.
The 80% rule applies to future flying up for bid, not current flying, which is locked for 15 years.
For example if Delta puts new flying up for bid that cuts into 80% that flying will go to ASA/Skywest as long as they are the 2nd lowest bidder or better.
I think that BH has brought over the same deal from SkyWest. They don't like to furlough. It's not good for anyone.
Must be nice to be senior enough to wish your fellow pilots out of a job just so you can make more money.
It's not good for guys that like to fly alot. We have guys at Skywest that are bitching we need to furlough so they can fly their usual 100 hrs a month. With the excess pilots the average pilot gets only 80 hrs now. Some of the senior guys are complaining it's equivalent to taking a paycut because of it.

Wow, a furlough is less painful than sitting around a crash pad making min guarantee. At least you can work at Mcdonalds and make more out in the real world.
