Btw: it wasn’t that long ago regional FOs we’re making 19k a year and working full time, haha.
That's correct. It is much easier to pursue side work with a steady (albeit small) paycheck and benefits. The situation is unfortunate but this is a reasonable lifeline vs being furloughed into an abysmal job market.
Compared to the United deal this one doesn't require sacrifice from those who would not have been affected. I doubt the United TA will pass with this large of a margin but we shall see.
