But I'm SURE he has changed his position on that now.
The point is that he/she can hold BOTH, and has a choice! That fact should not change due to the merger! So now look at that choice and see why putting a furlough in front of that person changes their life. What choice does a furlough have? Certainly not the same as an active pilot...
