So when PIT was closed as a base should its pilots have been furloughed?

When PIT was closed the block hours were redistributed in the other hubs.

This in contrast to the Vegas pullback where the time is being eliminated.

See post #112 and remember the fact that the 99 hires on the East were ALL on furlough when the TA was drafted and brought exactly ZERO jobs to the table.

And today - before the merger is complete - 175 West pilots bring Zero jobs to the table as well.

Oh, really? So you're telling me there was no overall shrinkage of USAirwasy flying when 3/4 of the flying in PIT disappeared? I call BS on that.

Huh?? How do you figure? Just because the company can now migrate flying to the cheap seats out east does not mean that I didn't bring a job to the table. I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's called the "snapshot". It's too late. That picture was taken in 05. I'll let you figure out what that means.

What you're suggesting is meaningless.

That is a good point. The snapshot in 05 is becoming more and more meaningless.

Of course it is. It's called a 'snapshot', not 'An Accurate Prediction of Everything That Will Happen in the Future'.
