Neither, really. Just figured no bid = no left over jobs to award to furloughees since the positions available are known only when a bid is awarded.
Even offering 190 F/O positions, which would almost surely go to returnees, seems unfair since a bid award may have provided some other choices.

I really appreciate any info anyone can put out for the furloughed. I don't think anyone is trying to spin this situation.
My take is the equipment will be awarded first few days of indoc which will not occurr until sometime in March. This gives plenty of time for a new bid to come out IMHO.
