I have the furlough letter in hand, and yes a job at 50% pay is better than 0% pay. You made simple math! Who is going to sit around on their as# and get zero pay? I can’t imagine any motivated professionals doing that. We have skills and are valuable in the workplace.

This is not an automatic yes vote cause I’m getting furloughed. Think about it like a business person now, not a pilot that needs a job. We are playing against the most ruthless, smart, greedy people on the planet and that’s Wall Street. This is not a Scott Kirby deal yes he’s the puppet out in front but his position at the table is Wall Street’s position at the table. Be careful to those in the bottom 1/3! Let’s see what the offer is and be pragmatic and make the best decision. Not the decision just for you and yours but make the best decision for your career.
