Do you think keeping 220 of your colleagues employed through the holidays is a benefit?
I guess you may want to consider what if the 2558 was an over reach? A number to work back from. Every time the union agrees to something we get paid back in "yo be" furloughed pilots up to a point.
Someday we'll know what the real plan was, but the company seems pretty fickle on what matters to them. I understand I'm being suspicious but i think its a reasonable assumption some of the 2558 were inflated estimates as are the 1721 remainders.
