Just got an email from our union. Looks like flying is now cut by 80%, not the earlier 60% so the layoffs will likely go up to 20 year employees possibly. Yikes.
This is why I hope our government chooses a solution similar to our American neighbors. It makes no sense to layoff that many employees unless this is the new norm. Otherwise the training wouldn't even be complete on the down bid, and we would have to spool things back up. I suspect travel will be down from the all time highs as people lick their wounds, and different countries open at different rates. But I suspect by the end of summer to the fall, things will be relatively normal.
People will travel again. And the deals will be great! I for one will try and cover as much of the globe as possible once partial normality returns, and others are hunkered down at home still scared to step out the door.
And I sure hope Sweden's little social experiment turns out to be right, proving to the rest of the world that we dramatically overreacted.
Trudeau just announced 75% wage subsidy for all businesses that went down by 30%. That would mean Jazz......With all the ERIP I assume not pilot layoffs will happen. 75% is more then enough......

Thoughts, comments?
I believe it said it only covers 75% of an employees wages up to a maximum of $850 a week or so. For a junior FO they wouldn't even get the maximum amount.
675 until July 1, 2020, no loss of pay or position until then either.
Captains will be assigned right seat duties as required until either more layoffs or a reduction bid is run, wow!
I’m still in shock how quickly we went from a shortage to massive layoffs, I hope we can recover almost as fast.
They are still working on mitigation so, that number could drop, let’s hope.

I guess no captains got laid off? I'm 400 from the bottom and was pleasantly surprised not to get the letter.

Layoffs are in reverse order of system seniority.
If you are 400 from the bottom then you are laid off.
