3. You’re paying them roughly the same anyways, yes there’s a difference between g4 ca pay and g2 ca pay, but 342 vs 278 may seem far - but keeping displacements in mind furloughing a guy that makes 90 or 137 is perhaps a lot easier and cheaper?

who knows, I doubt aa even truly does at the moment.
