I'm sure though that the company will find a way to blame the union in the press. "We are trying to increase our staffing, but the furloughed United pilots are not responding to the job offers in the manner we had hoped in order to alleviate these problems."
And in turn the union should respond, " due to the low wages and poor working conditions offered, most have found better pay and benefits elsewhere."
But I agree. There will be some company spin on this.
