I have flown with hundreds of mil types and 90% are smart enough to realize that mgt does not have their best interests in mind.
Shackone- GMAFB; I don't think you are a pilot. If you really are, you would know that it is managements responsiblity to productively use their talent pool. If they are paying people to stay home- they are screwing up. I have always been glad to get paid to stay home but I guarantee if you average my hourly rate for all the years paying my dues, studying, furloughed and working 12 to 24 hr days, then management still owes me.
While you are doing the basic math of the insane labor rates, do a historical inflation adjusted cost of a ticket vice current rates. Then you will understand how we are underpaid.
Aside from that, at United PBS is a train wreck. SSDD
