It’ll be interesting to see who sits reserve and therefore has the 5 hour reduction. If it’s senior guys hoping to not fly, it’s by choice. If it’s junior guys stuck with it, they’re probably the guys who would’ve been furloughed otherwise. Seems mostly win-win.
BTW, I thought the meme was funny.
If it makes anyone feel any better they are making fun of us as well.
