If you ask 50 Flight Attendants how much of a pay cut they took, you will get 50 different answers ranging from 5-50%. I've had many insist with a straight face that they took as much of a percentage hit as the pilots. I think it is shortsighted to jump on anyone at any opportunity to plead your case of suffering. TW was asking a simple question and expected a simple answer.

As a Guppy Captain when the furloughs were handed out, I was nauseated to no end. A lot of fine people showed tremendous trust in United to return to this sweat shop. Many left lucrative jobs for the belief of a promising future only to have United return them to the street with little hope of aviation employment. What do you say to someone who wonders how they are going to feed their family when a company disposes of them like a tug or a baggage cart? It is hard to fathom the hardships many of the 1437 have and continue to endure.

Believe it or not, the furloughed United pilots have tremendous support amongst the active pilot group. Yes, there are those who would sell you out, but we realize they would sell anyone, current line pilots included, out for their own benefit. The Judas amongst us are very small minority.

United furloughed you, not the United pilots. If one continually assails those who support them, how can they expect support in the future?
