As far as I’m concerned this isn’t unpaid leave, it’s paid leave. As in WE are paying to leave. We’re going to end up paying not to work due to the health care premiums they’re going to slap us with in lump sum as soon as we come back. Um, no?
Look, I think everyone needs to take a hard look at how they can chip in right now. This is an unmitigated disaster. All this union vs. company rhetoric needs to go out the window and we all need to push in the same direction. But paying to not work is absurd. ESPECIALLY when they’re making crews sit in NYC April 1-4 without being released. F that. Pay me 50hrs/month, heck pay me rent money and I’ll take the time off. But if mgmt thinks I’m going to pay out of pocket to sit home then they’ve lost it. Idgaf what ****ing match Delta mgmt has going on with their pilot group, if you need us off property, offer some sort of incentive. Not 2 PS tickets to nowhere.
