Ok, here's my better answer in the form of a question. If there is an ALV reduction for say 1 year of 20% . The bottom guys don't get furloughed. The old pilot that only had 1 year to go retires on that reduced pay.
Is there a winner, is there a loser ?
If you agree winners/losers, do we justify that with a nebulous " Well, it's the right thing to do" or some other platitude?
