I don't think that's quite accurate. Most of us junior guys had no interest in returning to a full on pension like some of the pilots were clamoring for. We were certainly interested in helping out in retirement restoration, but there were other ways to do it. From what I've seen on FB, a lot of people are saying TS, deal with it, I've been furloughed before.

It's a very sticky issue. On the one hand, I worked very hard to get here, seniority matters, etc. On the other hand, I know I'm very lucky to have gotten hired when I did and I could easily be in that group who doesn't know what the future holds. I don't want to destroy the contract to MAYBE save jobs for a few months...but I don't want to see people on the street either.
