Most of the 90% were put off by the company's original proposal of targeted ALV cuts. If it were originally proposed across the board, it may have gotten traction. The survey results are a reflection of two decades of lies, not our interest in flying lower ALVs. The way this crisis has been handled so far is bringing up bad memories from bankruptcy. The pilot group is angry at management for all of their past failings and will say "No" to anything they propose, even if it was free Chick-fil-a on any trip that touches ATL.
I like the idea of working less hours as long as it doesn't involve working for less $ per hour. There is a big difference between a rate cut and an ALV cut.
