Ultimately this is a job like any other and the whole “we have a family environment and we look after our staff” was a nice sales pitch.
Money talks, bs walks...
If it makes you feel better some of your fellow pilots are gonna make some decent money off you picking up all the open time created by the furloughs. Maybe they will share with you. NOT! I get publicly the union has to say that “not picking up open time is bad” but the reason it’s bad is because it’s a work action. The courts will use any group effort against the pilots.
Not picking up time has to be a personal and individual choice.
“I” can survive on 75 hours so
“I” have no reason to pick up knowing that my fellow pilots are on the unemployment line.
