The knowledge that APA was very top heavy and primarily looked out for the interests of senior pilots at the expense of everyone else was already known long before Covid. And I don't 100% blame the NC and/or BOD for these LOAs. But I think it's bad form for a certain APA member to go on a long rant on BTL about their intentions, and how we should blame big bad management.

I have no doubt management plays dirty. But you're telling me APA hás NO leverage? And he along with the rest of them need to check their feelings. 2500 of us are going through an extremely stressful situation and facing the very real possibility of being without our source of income soon. Right before the holidays, no less.

hopes were that the NC would come back and tell us the company was planning on furloughing 1200, but through creative LOAs we brought that number down to X. Instead they came back and basically threw furloughs over the entire 2500 like a wet blanket. There is NO WAY management planned to furlough the entire 2500 originally.

APA needs to be more sympathetic to what we're going through.
