So I'm saying if the majority of the pilot group feels that $2560/mo is too much, then I would gladly take half of that on furlough which is what the ETO guys get each month. That would probably entice more members to vote yes to this proposal. Do you think more guys would be happy with $2560/mo taken out of their pay or $1280/mo taken out?
Totally agreed. I ran the math and a 5% assessment on top of our regular 1% should be enough for 1,500 furloughees to gross about $3800/month. That’s enough to pay the mortgage & basic bills.
