Most workers will be furloughed on Fridays. Aircraft maintenance essentially will stop on furlough days as officials have determined that the most effective schedule to minimize these impacts is to have the majority of depot maintenance personnel furloughed on the same day.

Additionally, there can be no overtime during the furlough period, so the furloughs are expected to generate at least a 20 percent loss in production during the furlough period.

Major flying units associated with the base will continue to observe relatively normal duty schedules.

Steps to help workers

Base officials are “continuing to leverage every available resource, both on-base and in the community, to minimize the financial burdens caused by the loss in pay. Our Airman and Family Readiness Center is the focal point for providing support to impacted employees. The center offers several programs such as financial readiness and budget planning classes, chaplain counseling and family advocacy support is also available.”
