Weird times when the company has 17B in cash and yet our asses are on fire this week.
Weird times when we are considering upending the contract when CARES2 is still in limbo.
Weird times when we are considering chopping the seniority list up and having them each claw at the others with our different viewpoints.
Weird times when we willingly take on the companies economic problem and rush to make it our own.
Weird times when this program was initially sold as something that will prevent furloughs and now it looks as though they'll likely get furloughed anyway. Just like a whole mess of us did. Some twice in the past. Where was the big group-hug-Kumbaya then? ALPA was completely apathetic then.
Weird times when money is being taken out of one pilots pocket so that it can be put into anothers.
Weird times when seniority is no longer sacrosanct.
Weird times when we are willing to take on 24 months of concessions to save jobs for 8 only months.
Weird times when suddenly ALPA is the boogeyman for furloughing pilots and not the company.
Weird times when I've been told for 20 years that I'll have time to make it up and now I'll just have to suck it up.
Weird times when the Monthy Pay Guarantee will now be what exactly? It sure as hell isn't a guarantee worth having. How are we to plan on our futures?
