Delta Air Lines to furlough 1,941 pilots in October
Delta Air Lines is set to furlough 1,941 pilots in October, the carrier said in a memo seen by Reuters on Monday that noted the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and plunging air travel demand. U.S. airlines have warned they will need to furlough tens of thousands of workers once $25 billion in U.S. government stimulus funds run out in September.

Take the 15% pay cut with the caveat the pay rate has to be re-normalized before any new hires can be made. That's a win-win: most everyone who wants to stays employed, and the pay cuts have a flexible expiration date that exactly coincides with actual recovery.
does anyone still think deregulation was a good idea?
This has little if anything to do with deregulation
The pilots need to take 50% cuts to remain active and qualified.. lower the monthly guaranteed hours .. somthing better than hitting the streets..
Nope, I'd rather keep the full pay when I come back from a furlough. Giving up pay will be nearly impossible to get back. At some point they WILL have to recall us.
And yet they're planning to expand routes. Not possible
They aren't expanding. They're merely bringing back some service that was cut, based on what they see in the way of future bookings, I suspect.
only if they cut existing routes. Had a flight in November, and Delta was basically on their way to cancel the flight. Moved my arrival by 4h (later) But i couldn't find my flights on their website to book, even though there were open seats on the planes.
