Fair.. maybe... too soon absolutely. Your comment of most of us have been through this etc and buck's general attitude is the problem. Many of us this is the 4th or 5th time getting the raw end if the deal. From 65 then having guys whine about needing a ponzi scheme pension plan to 2008 to sham bankruptcies and sneiority loss to flow numbers not being honored to having to wait 1.5 years for a class date when others got it in 3 weeks. Don't act like furlough is a right of passage or because yous tabbed your toe we have too. We all should be willing to find a way to keep everyone working.
Banking the reduced alv in a fund minds sounds like a pension scheme proposed called deffered compensation doesn't it. Not flying additional trips or greens so a guy can come back to work? Sounds moral.
Instead So many think its ok to screw junior guys.. again instead of breaking the mold and banning together to prove we care about eachother and keeping everyone solvent.
But no let ll quibble about vacation weeks. By the Way some of the una guys got desirable weeks cause we all were not junior on our fleets
Now let the attitudes run
