Yes dera I am saying that. Take a look at Skywest, they have an amazing deal and did it all without a union. I know you are part of that system now, so naturally you are going to defend it even more, but our union has done nothing for us on this issue.

The company is exposing us to greater risk using this approach and it will simply mean more long mid-day sits and more being stuck at outstations until they figure out what to do with us. Mid-day sits in base are not covered for pilots in terms of a free hotel, so plan on using a commuter. If you burn trough them, plan on buying your own or sitting on a bench. I would much rather be able to choose to stay at home and still know I will get some sort of pay, not asking for the entire thing here, but something.

Lets not fool ourselves here either, the company will receive relief from the government on this and will be able to recoup losses related to crew/personnel. so they could have done the right thing. Per the usual, our union has come out and essentially defended the company while asking us to conserve fuel with nothing going in our favor or looking out for us.
