I’m no way implying I think I will be safe from furlough. I put my odds at 50/50 simply because no one knows what the world will look like 6 months from now. While the current snapshot is bleak at best, the underlying economy was booming prior to the Wuhan virus. I don’t think we (the collective world) will pick back up where we left off. The ingredients (Cheap money, cheap energy, and pent up appetite) are there though to provide more than a catalyst to kick things off.
But to the original point, it’s becoming evident the company and the union aren’t interested in our ( pilots) collective interest. So why should I make it even easier for them to line their pockets while most of us hit the street in the process. Shared sacrifice baby.
