This is what the pilots heard:
Due to system reductions and fleet simplification, it will be necessary to furlough up to 550 pilots (Oct02 - Mar03).
Furloughs will be done in accordance with the Seniority Integration Agreement, affecting the most junior pilots on the combined seniority list.
A “bridge to retirement” will be made available for up to 450 of the most senior pilots. This is part of the TWA transition agreement. The agreement has a limited duration and is also limited in the number of pilots eligible and to those already eligible for retirement.
