Based on the video from Vegas, the union's offer was tied to complete no furlough commitment, not furlough mitigation - that's a big distinction. All the agreements getting done are based on furlough mitigation, and my two cents is that an agreement with a full no furlough clause is not at all realistic.
At that point wouldn't *not* furloughing pilots be based on management's good will? We all know how that works.Originally Posted by captnate702
The Company rejected the union's ETO offer that had a full no furlough clause. What we are talking about here and what is industry standard is a furlough mitigation agreement. Try to reduce the number of furloughed pilots via voluntary participation in an extended leave program for 45-50 hrs (get out of here with 35 hours...looking at you Indigo/F9).Based on the video from Vegas, the union's offer was tied to complete no furlough commitment, not furlough mitigation - that's a big distinction.
