The NWP RVP 100% said on a call that RIF is in play, and that was a big part of his justification for why certain facilities are being forced back to BWS, during a huge spike in not only cases nationwide, but in ATC-0 events across the country. He mentioned "getting ahead of the Furloughs" by bringing everybody back into the building to train. I have no reason to just make that up.
My personal opinion is that they're making RIF threats up to use as an excuse for why we're going back to BWS and adding bodies to the facility, when we are at a higher level of COVID spread than we were during 5/10. I dont think anybody is actually buying it, but its what they're trying to sell.
