Besides that, mgt was never interested in profit sharing, low balled us on pay rates and 401k contributions, why should we as one of the lowest paid A320 operators be willing to bend? To save a few first year guys from a short furlough? Sorry, I know that sounds insensitive, but this is the way the industry works and if you have been around long enough, it comes with the territory. I’ve been there and many others have also. I certainly didn’t want anyone taking concessions to save my job.
I’m at the very bottom of the list. I’ll take that furlough to avoid concessions. I’ve been in the regionals since 2012 and played that game.

no. The answer is no. Send me home for a while but absolutely.... NO.
