Something was given to offset carrying more pilots, we just don’t know what it was yet. Someone upthread (or maybe in another thread) mentioned one of their management peeps said publicly they secured concessions in exchange for no furloughs. Obviously that could be extreme management-speak but ALPA agreed to changes to save jobs. Maybe JB just set the market regarding furlough protection. Let’s wait and see how they did it.
