It is very easy to say that in retrospect, but not when they sent out letter after letter with furlough numbers and you didn’t know when your pay was getting cut off. Don’t forget they were even going to short us on furlough pay.

Yeah it worked out in the end, thank god, but it was not like “oh just sit home and collect UNA pay until this is all over”.

and FWIW I’ve thanked everybody I’ve flown with for the COBRA/Furlough avoidance LOAs that were passed. Nobody has ever made it a big deal beyond “that’s what we do”.

We have 0 reason to divide the pilot group right now. Stay unified.
