Thanks for the heads up. I still haven't received one sitting about 400 from the bottom of the list.
I'm just around 500

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.

675 is roughly 1/2 of all active Jazz pilots. Not a good day but I was expecting it to be worse considering how much flying has been axed.

January 2017 is the magic date here. I got my notice which wasn’t unexpected at all

Good luck to everyone affected by this. From my family to yours please stay safe and healthy and hope to see you in the crew rooms soon

No CA lost their seat or pay, just will be doing right seat duties. Junior Captain is Nov 2016 which is a few from the bottom of the master list

To be clear... many Captains have definitely been laid off.

But for those that remain working, a position reduction bid will not be taking place for the time being.

More layoff emails went out today. Nov 2016 was just laid off. 838 on the seniority list was the highest it went.

Was that exactly 675 seniority numbers from the bottom of the list? Or did the lay offs extend further because of medical leaves, parental leaves, etc?

Not necessarily, they will be on a standby status, on 75% of their wage to the max allowed, it doesn’t look like Jazz will make up the difference, it’s just keeping the ones on layoff from having to go on EI for now
