What I said was it was not great they sent out thousands of furlough letters while delta was actively violating (or planning to) our scope clause. I didn’t think that was a controversial statement
And I’m not going to speak for anyone but myself, but having been a post 9/11 furloughee as well, I can imagine that it was very stressful for all of you. The checks did indeed keep coming in, with a pay cut for most to 717B pay, but you went through, emotionally, what we went through. You had to assume every check was your last check. You had to start working on plan B. You never could count on what ended up being two more extensions and re fundings of the Cares Act. I and many of our brethren can empathize with you. I am sure it was very tough for all of you. I’m glad things started recovering so quickly and I hope things keep moving in the same direction as they currently are.
