Your 4a2b provision wouldn't work at UPS. They'd have an excuse to stay in it perpetually. Yes, pilots got furloughed, but it wasn't for the lack of the IPA trying to change that. UPS decided to furlough regardless of the voluntary measures the IPA was continuing to make work. UPS chose to shove it down our throats.
Virtually every furloughed pilot didn't want to come back to a degraded contract. Out of 2600 pilots on the list, less than a dozen increased their hours above line value, picked up open time or accepted JA. Plus, we paid the insurance of every furloughee that needed it.
