I completely understand the “full pay to the last day” mentality as it relates to reducing pay rates, benefits, and work rules. Contractual concessions are unacceptable. However a negotiated temporary reduction in min guarantee isn’t something that causes lasting harm to the profession. It’s the pilot group looking out for each other and themselves, whether it’s guys avoiding furlough, downgrade, or displacement. That’s assuming all other options of early retirements, LOA, etc have been exhausted.

Im a 2017 hire, squarely in the furlough range for what it’s worth.
