Some quick facts.
Netjets is not furloughing. At this time, they are offering a VOLUNTARY LOA that is available for up to 1000 pilots. This program was NOT initiated by the company. There were numerous pilots who expressed concern about going to work with the ongoing pandemic. They preferred to stay home, even without pay. There really weren't any mechanisms in place to allow something like this on a large scale, so the union approached the company to work something out. The resultant deal allows those who wish to remain home to do so. There is no pay, but benefits continue. I'm sure the company likes it too, because it reduces expenses. But again, this was a union-initiated program inspired by the desires of the pilots to stay home through the pandemic. There are ZERO furloughs taking place.
Additionally, there are more voluntary measures being worked out between the union and the company. What those look like remains to be seen. However, to reiterate, everything is voluntary. If a pilot wishes to remain on the schedule at full pay and benefits they will.
Our fleet is not "parked". Nothing is mothballed and they're continuing to crew whatever planes are needed with available crews. Obviously, demand is way down, so yes, quite a few planes aren't in the air. We aren't the only ones with reduced flying these days.
As for what Flightaware may show, it doesn't mean anything. How many REVENUE flights are each company doing? That's the relevant question. Flex is using their planes to ferry pilots to and from work, Netjets is not (mostly). That could easily account for there being more Flex planes in the air. However, I don't think one snapshot in time from Flightaware is representative of anything.
I'm only taking an educated guess here, but from what I've seen we'd have to see these severely reduced load factors for another 3-4 month's before Netjets would consider a furlough. And then based on the WARN act they'd have to give 2-3 months notice of the furloughs. So IF we'd get to the point of furloughs, my guess is nobody will hit the streets until at least the beginning of November.
KR is flat out lying about us furloughing. There's no "misstatement" or "misinterpretation" of what he said. Anybody who can use a computer or who knows how to use a phone could find out the truth in less than a minute. Nothing we're doing over here is a secret. So if he said straight up that we're furloughing, it's a LIE.
I hope this helps.
