- Planned captain downgrades to first officer were cut to 25 from 170, according to the company.
- ALPA said management revised its staffing and attrition assumptions, undermining the case for large-scale furloughs.
- The airline reports a pilot roster of about 2,400, following earlier steps that included roughly 600 pilot furloughs.
- Chapter 11 restructuring efforts continue as tentative labor concessions still require union ratification and bankruptcy-court approval to unlock additional DIP financing.
