Be happy you have monies being deposited in your checking account next month. We are experiencing unprecedented times, the company is trying to tread water while abiding the best they can with our CBA. No other industry I can think of is paying employees to not work. We are lucky; quit being petty and count your blessings.
Im happy sitting in my cave watching the craziness because i would of only made 3 to 6 more hrs but would like the piece of mind that my whole schedule is dropped. If the company canceled all flights then all reserve should of also. I guess its cheaper to give 35% of the pilots free money than working with union and pay the whole pilot group again. Im not going to be a opentime virus till June but the trips will be worked out by then and no extra time will be available.
In a lot of industries people are getting paid to do nothing or very little work thanks to the virus and government. My neighborhood and friends might be different than most tho. Saying we are lucky to get violated by our company is not smart
