They will be inactive until the wage subsidy program ends which will help them out financially, after than they will be layed off. That's my understanding. Unlike some other jobs there is a cost in keeping them after that and it would be more cost effective to rehire than to retain at that point. It's unfortunate. I foresee Air Canada doing the same in the near future as the dust begins to settle.
Currently all their pilots are on a reduced pay guarantee (hours) but even at that they are actually working way fewer hours than they are being paid for which is not sustainable
