When CAL furloughed the 147, those pilots at least had a place worth coming back to.
This is a good time RIGHT NOW, for all vulnerable pilots (bottom half of the list) to dust off their resume's and do some career broadening.

We could work for free and it likely won't help the hemorrhaging of the corporate finances.

The company simply needs to get a very large access to credit. That would be my advice to the reps. Simply encourage the company to go out and get access to capital. We've given enough in this profession financially. It's time for management to do what management does; get cash, and get it on the best terms they can.

As pilots we can continue to operate as efficiently as possible and point out where economic efficiencies can be gained. But, we all have bills to pay, and we need our paychecks too. The union should never go out and get Stockholm syndrome. Management manages. The union enforces labor agreements.
