I do not want to see anyone on the street and I do not want to see us giving the company a deal where we are exploited for an outsized chunk of the pie. They already started shrinking our piece a couple of years ago and took the cherry and the whipped cream when they continued hiring into 2020 with no max.
I recognize that it takes a village to run a low cost airline, but our house has already made a pretty big offering. If we are forced to give more, I want to see how, in the end, I am going to be enriched by my sacrifice.
Over at Delta the hardliners have tried to convince the masses that voluntary paid leaves are concessions, because the rest of the pilots might have more reserve usage or can't get holidays off. All the while telling pilots its better to furlough than allow paid- leaves. Beware of the hardliners whose only motive is their status quo.
