Not to sound like the bad guy, because I have a good amount of time left to try and recoup if we decide to take a 20% paycut, but I have a good many friends here that went through a pretty significant amount of time on furlough during the beginning of their career and as a bonus miss out on the best in industry C2K rates in the process then come back to a BK and the associated fun stuff that goes along with it. So now they are in their last 2-3 years of their career and you want them to take one for the team on the way out also? Tell me, because I know your approx seniority, did you go through the same? I don't want anyone to take a pay cut but I also don't want to be digging out of a hole for the next 15 years again.
