Not every operator has a Warren Buffett, I thought they would be in a sort of comfortable position.
No, I don't think that's what was said. Leave of absence (LOA) is temporary and can be as short as one month, for example. It's not the same thing as getting rid of a thousand pilots. Noteworthy is that NJA have furlough rules in their CBA which means everybody that does get let go has to be offered his job back before external candidates can be hired again. They keep their seniority number and some pay/benefits such as insurance would be continued to be paid at least for the initial period of being furloughed. Having said all that, I'm not aware that furloughs have been suggested at this point.
