Why so few redundancies?
Most pilots are still not working or very little and yet very few layoffs. They are not required and in other industries would be laid off. Most are still employed on furlough and it appears to be indefinite. The majority of actual layoffs were either recent cadets or early retirements.
Is it because governments are taking the cost of furlough? or is it that the airlines are afraid they will be short of crews and unable to recruit when we come out of crisis. Are airlines being over optimistic? Or are they all making poor decisions to keep employees if they are not going to be needed?
