Is there really anyone at FedEx or United who doesn’t know that lowering MPG directly saves furloughs? I know there are plenty of senior pilots who would rather keep their 300k a year paychecks instead of working less hours to save some junior furloughs, and that is their decision. But no one in their right mind should be disputing that lowering MPG directly saves furloughs. It’s simple math.
