While most of us aren't working or earning as much as pre-covid, now is a pretty good time to develop or improve those skills and focus on saving money for the reasons I mentioned before.

Nowhere did I come remotely close to calling for a strike. Rather, all I suggested was for pilots concerned with the prospect of a furlough come May 1, that focusing on saving extra money each paycheck can be seen as a strategic decision to start or boost a strike fund if we don't furlough next spring.
