I like how we've gone from 'Thoughts and prayers' for the furloughees, to 'They want to cut my pay WTF?!?!?'

ALPA represents the entire pilot group, not just the senior guys. And it's obvious that since there is even going to be a TA that the union believes it's in the best interest of the pilot group to try and mitigate these furloughs likely through some sort of shared sacrifice. Ultimately, what that agreement will be has yet to be seen. At which point everyone will have to make their own decision on which way to vote.

That said there seems to be a number of individuals here with crystal balls tuned to the same frequency. They're predicting that if this TA gets passed that's where the bankruptcy judge will start cutting. I say, how do you know we're going into bankruptcy? And how do you know it will be reorganization and not liquidation? And if it's reorganization maybe there will be consolidation too. At which point those of us who are getting furloughed would be a lot happier to be active rather than furloughed during an integration.

My point more or less being, that there's way too much speculation going on. And before deciding we're on the Titanic and this thing is a giant iceberg we're heading straight for... maybe everyone should settle down until we can actually read it.
