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.
Well if the UAL deal is truly as bad as you say it will crash and burn in MEMRAT. You are only looking at the MPG but not factoring in the thousands of displacement cancellations. Hundreds of UAL Pilots will be making Captains pay while potentially flying as FO. Thousands will be working instead of being furloughed. It may not be all good, but it sure as hell aint all bad.
Are we really supposed to lose much sleep over Pilots who base their budgets on PS and GS's?
