To mitigate furloughs-what has ALPA proposed?
It seems like everyday there are news stories about airlines/unions coming to an agreement to mitigate furloughs. It seems like many unions have presented these mitigation efforts to the pilot group in the form of a vote to allow the majority to make a decision. Further, I've seen multiple articles/documents that outline proposals presented by both the union and the company for various airlines.
I have not seen any of these things from either our union or our company. All that we have heard is "we're working to mitigate furloughs", but we have not seen any tangible proposals from either the company or union. Has anyone heard anything about "the union proposed XYZ" or "the company proposed ABC"?
As someone who is getting furloughed, I think its a fair question to ask on behalf of myself--and others--what tangible proposals ALPA or the company have presented (or turned down) to try to help the 130ish people losing benefits, pay, etc.
