God forbid so much as one senior Captain potentially only make $23k one month vs $26k. Better to throw 2500 pilots out on the street. I love that Chip Long didn't play any games on the last PTT. APA has been attempting to blame management and convince us this was the best they could do. Then Chip comes along and throws shade right back.. telling us all what we already knew.

Management was willing to talk about reduced ALVs. APA refused. So here we are. And the furlough line before all of this was about 1200. Maybe 1600 on the extreme high end. It wasn't 2500. Reduced ALVs and other mitigation measures would have reduced furloughs down from 1200. Instead..APA decided to throw all 2500 under the bus and not actually mitigate anything unless senior pilots take ZTLs. Basically putting the onus of mitigation on the pilot group.

You can't make this up. It's unbelievable.
