Now I know all you guys are going to jump on me and call me a tool etc. That's fine. But, for the sake of argument, consider this:
For the purposes of my argument one assumption has to be made and I think it's a valid assumption: A trip that is unassigned, in open time etc., one way or another, is going to be assigned to someone.
So, why not let someone who wants to fly that trip fly it instead of it being inversely assigned to someone who doesn't want to fly it? Especially over a holiday like Christmas?? I get it that, if you have furloughs, you want those pilots back off the street but if the trip is going to be flown one way or another, why not have it be flown by one that wants to do it instead of someone who doesn't?
The only way it might help furloughs is if the trip goes unflown, no-oped. Then it might help them. How often does this happen???
Please show me where I'm wrong!
Fire away!! (I'm leaving town before you guys "get a rope!")
