We were TOLD that furlough mitigations would help those numbers.
Then.. we were TOLD that we may need to furlough even more in 2021.

Yes, I get that this CoVid19 Virus isn't going away. And that we are fat on International travel and Business Travel. We have also been told that we are killing it on the cargo side.
We have also been told manpower planning & training knows what they are doing. That canceling all training in May was done due to all those pilots being redundant or being displaced. We see how great that plan worked. Every day 100% trips in open time. Paying 10-15K ADD Pay for a single trip- money that would save one or two pilots in a few months.

Now, out of the blue we find out we are furloughing even more than initially announced! That's a hell of a Furlough Mitigation Program we just had.
There is NO EXCUSE to announce added furloughs and move up the dates of others. NONE.

Whatever airline emerges when this is all over will NEVER be what it could have been.
Management keeps saying that they want to be ready to pounce when things turn around. I (personal opinion) think they are in for a rude awakening.
Unfortunately, the same now applies to our Pilot Group. We will be operating under our current CBA for many many years to come.
So Be It.
