Did you know that the leading cause of divorce is marriage? Google it, it's true.
At least wait til you hold a line.
Hmmm, really? So what happens when an airline furloughs/displaced/and closes bases all at once? Line holding pilot is just lucky to have a job, but now may be faced with 1)Moving, possibly away from family and somewhere the wife can't get a job, higher COL, possibly lose money on the house sale, etc. Or 2) commuting and possibly to reserve? Yet STILL lucky to have a job?
What do you suggest the pilots in the situation johnson29 explained do?
No offense, but you're SA on this whole thing is pretty substandard. I'm of the inclination that you have yet to see many of these scenarios play out first hand. You'll have a hard time convincing me otherwise.
