I just read on the United forum that the first class at Continental has a number of Captains including a couple 747 ones that took voluntary furloughs. They are going back to be 737 FO's at $190/hour. If United decides to fulough again, a pilot can take a voluntary furlough, get paid I think it was 4 months severance, and start in a class at Continental the next day making the pay he was at United. So how how are they going to save money?
