Maybe it’s because I don’t have to fly with DFW based pilots, but I had previously given this group way too much credit. After seeing what happened with the assessment, I’ve come to realize our furloughed pilots were doomed from the start.
This is my feeling as well. Before I was furloughed the majority of people I flew with had the "I was furloughed, so get over it attitude". They were adamantly against any kind of relief to save jobs. Including the .5%. Totally absurd, folks making hundreds of thousands dollars aren't willing to give up .5%.
This pilot group is really 3 or 4 groups. LAA. LUS/AWA and anybody new. Least important by far is "new".
