I was just curious if anyone knows how many furloughed pilots are out there and numbers by each carrier? I know it's a bunch..
I wish them all the best...Hang in there!
 
This information was posted 2 or 3 months ago.

But anyway at United the numbers are:

Currently on furlough = 844
Furlough on 1/6/03 = 220
Furlough on 2/7/03 = 132

Total furloughed by 2/7/03 will be 1,196. :(

This will go back to a hire date of around December 1999. Of course, when UA files for bankruptcy all bets are off. These additional 352 pilots, and more for that matter, could be laid off immediately with no severance pay.

Wish I had a crystal ball....I'd be around number 80 at JB and my JBLU stock would have been worth about $360,000. Oh well, time for my morning shot of Yukon Jack!

Cheers!

To re post,

Delta has 1,015 on furlough non for January, and rumored to continue to furlough in February. This goes back to I believe Feb - March 2000.
 
Thanks to all that replied. To all that are on furlough, good luck and I hope your not out too long. That number roughly comes out to 4164 by this spring and I know there are regionals, nationals, and other majors with more. Sure does suck!!!

Below is a table cut and pasted from AirInc. It may not be 100% accurate, but it's the latest data they have. It was in 6 columns marked:

ABX/ 890/ 44/ 4.94%/ 7,700/ ?

Changes in UA's latest round

Old plan:

Furlough 220 pilots on 1/6/03 and 132 pilots on 2/7/03.

New plan:

Furlough 220 (I'm in this round) on 1/15/03 and 180 on 3/1/03.

This will bring our total number of pilots on furlough come March to 1,244. Date of hire for most senior furloughee will be about November 2000 when all 1,244 have been let go.

Cheers! :(
