If United's deal comes here, the senior guys are looking at a 24 percent pay cut from what there budget is based on. Middle third would be looking at 30 percent, and bottom guys 50 percent. When you look at numbers that staggering, it's hard to cheer for a deal.

I don't think anyone wants to see furloughs, but the price to avoid them is too high based on United's deal.
