The reason I ask is that for our long term health of our unions and work rules this may be the best solution. It allows some relief to furloughees so that the union can stand firm for work rules in this type of situation. It is a small assessment that is, in many ways, cheaper to the pilots who stay than the concessions we so often accept. Those concessions that historically stick around much longer than we anticipate. I am not for concessions in almost all cases because I know the history. It seems this solution, which to the OP's credit, is outstanding outside the box thinking should have some real discussion and debate.
