You know who else can't understand the pain of a furlough? The company. 4a2b has never been proven to have avoided a single furlough. I never believed that they wanted or needed to reduce crew force badly enough to incur the tremendous costs associated with the furlough and recall of pilots. 4a2b however, comes with tremendous cost to the (some) pilots, not so much to the company. It allows them to completely avoid realigning the company on the shoulders (wallets) of the pilots.
