You will have another large number of pilots hoping they do furlough in June so this TA gets thrown out. How’s that for you? Now hoping they furlough so your paycheck can be restored. People won’t admit that out loud, but they will they think it. Grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
I see the law of unintended consequences all over this TA. I don't wish furloughs on anyone, but,
UAL will definitely be furloughing as many as they can in June 2021.
