Was not even part of why we furloughed last time. We offered all the contractual savings they asked for. Turns out they were determined to reduce body count. Made the leadership look good to Wall St. They were well rewarded. Wall street gushed about how tough Alaska Airlines was on cost controls and how forward thinking they were...
That said this pilot group is fairly selfish and always has been. Many of us took long, unpaid leaves to try and help. Of course we all got screwed coming back to work.....We likely will face a contract gutting excursion in trade for furloughs next spring. I am not interested.
