Even the new military pilots know scope relaxation means furlough. I don't know why people always assume new pilots don't understand this. I suppose it's good review from time to time in case someone slips through the cracks.
Also, our pilots aren't being gullible, they're just not looking at the world like its raining all the time. Perhaps your message to not trust management is valuable to some Marvin who comes here and actually believes everything the company says. I just don't think there are very many people who do.
Judging from the original point of this thread, the truth and insight is important for those who may be "holding out" for a UAL class date that does or doesn't start in the next 1-6 months.
Not pilots who have already hitched their horse to the UAL wagon.
