The public stance is stated in the investor call. JO would rather have a reduced hour MOU than to furlough.
Agreed throwing numbers around like that out of nowhere is counterproductive and only serves to create a panic amongst the pilot group. I’m pro reduced hour block if it saves jobs. Then again that is a big if. But who knows if the union could get some solid language to rule out furloughs for an extended time. I’m here to protect the small guy, the new hire FO, not the fat cat 20+ year guys on top who could care less if their 22 year old FO, with a child, sitting next to them has a job next week.
