Furlough is not an appropriate term. These guys will never been called back. Sacked seems more suitable

Another 68 unmentionable pilots were released in the last week for 'performance.'

Obviously just an excuse to lighten the wage bill.

... it wasn't anywhere near 68 pilots... the exaggeration in the gossip is horrendous... 330 is short of crew with the damp lease. Aircraft already in SV colours.

77L fleet retired two years ago.

But don’t let facts get in way of a good story eh?
