Just like the company can tell the furloughed guys, "Well it was ALPA that caused your furloughs because the union wouldn't agree to scope language modifications for our Joint Venture in exchange for not furloughing pilots."
Everyone can see through their games and dishonesty. Management is the only one to blame in all this. If they would spend more time managing the airline instead of managing expectations, we'd be properly staffed, have a contract in place, plus all the other operational issues that have come up in the past couple of months would be addressed as well.
