At the time, all pilots were saved from furlough by the entire pilot group taking a 5 to15 hour reduction for two months. I didn't like it, but I was ok with it knowing that it kept pilots like yourself off the street with what would have probably been the minimum amount of notice allowed. This also kept insurance benefits available for those same pilots at the onset of a global pandemic. Our work rules and permanent monthly guarantee-other than those two months-were not touched. If I remember correctly, we weren't asked to still work the same amount of days but were credited with additional days off to cover the prorated pay reduction. The CARES act did end up passing Congress when at the time, no one in the industry could have imagined it would or what the details of the act would look like.

The reality is that you don't care about any of that. You only care about yourself and it shows by your skewed "Concessions vs Furlough analysis" that you created. Saying that your numbers are "not perfect" would be an understatement. Your groupings of pilot percentages and the pay to go with them don't even look close. Reserve lines which make up about half the lines only saw a 5 hour reduction in pay for those two months. It's glaring that in your "findings" you assume the deal can be called off after it was already made (did you forget that you have been on here screaming foul about the company reneging on the bonus deal-aka hypocrisy). What's most glaring and shows your selfishness, is that you assume that if the company gave that money back, it would not be repaid to all the pilots, but instead be used to pay the salary-but no benefits for some reason-of a small section of the furloughed pilots that you happen to belong to.
