<<It's a screw job, plain and simple.>>

And there you have it. I understand this not being a make or break 'no' vote for the thousands it does not directly impact, but this rawest of raw deals that defies logic and is such an obvious setup for the follow on staple job headed our way should make you ask, "If these guys are taking it prison style, what's being done to me?"

There is very soft language in this TA that should cause you to reflect, "How could this wobbly language be used to my detriment?"

To borrow from Martin Niemöller:

First they came for the double furloughees.
and I did not speak out
because I was not a double furloughee.

Then they came for the narrow body aircraft
and I did not speak out
because I was not a narrow body pilot.

Then they came for the reserve and DH work rules
and I did not speak out
because I did not bid reserve and rarely DH.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
