Some did take it to help the company. The company is losing millions of dollars right now, some of us want the company to survive long term, and taking a small paycut times 1000 pilots adds up. If everyone wasn't so greedy and chipped in temporarily it might help. Covid is not the company's fault. They are scrambling like the rest of the world. Covid is the media's fault. The sheeple are being driven by fear and propaganda. This will not end till the election is over and watch the virus problems magically disappear.
and if the company wanted to save money and more importantly goodwill moving forward they wouldn’t have done this twice in a row expecting folks to sign up for a VIL ever again. Further expecting the rsv pilots to be held accountable for all their RAPs when you just gave every lineholder the month off with pay and the opportunity to pick up the entire schedule on top of guarantee GMAFB.
