If what you say is true, then yes, they're spreading misinformation.
It's not a voluntary furlough. Why are you labeling it like that? It's a voluntary LOA. Benefits continue and the rules of an actual furlough do not apply. For example, in an actual furlough the company must recall in seniority order. With this LOA, they can cancel a pilot's LOA as needed as any fleet dictates. There are plenty of other differences. If it makes you feel better to call it a furlough, go ahead. But it only puts your character on display.
As for how many are taking the VLOA, it's still ongoing. The final number isn't determined yet. But remember, it's a voluntary LOA for UP TO 1000 pilots. It's not a mandatory 1000. They simply set an upper limit based on projected operational needs.
You seem angry about the whole thing. Or are desperate to prove Flex is handling this better than Netjets. I've given you the facts. If you don't like them or think I'm lying, that's your problem, not mine. If you have no intention of accepting what I say, then why even bother asking for additional info? It's not a competition between Netjets and Flex. Each can handle it in their own way.
How about you PM me your buddy's name and I'll have a better idea of how "in the know" he/she is. But I'm not getting into a pissing match with you on it. If you think I'm wrong, good for you. I have no agenda other than trying to clear the air on what's happening at Netjets.
Oh, and different parts of the fleet are flying at different times, so we're still using the entire fleet, just not all at the same time. I suppose it depends on what your definition of "parked" is.
Have a good day.
