Remember the summer of 2020? BB confidently saying “we will get through this together” on video after video and saying we are well positioned to weather the storm, unlike the legacies? And then, overnight, they changed their tune in the fall and planned the furlough of hundreds of our pilots? 504 pilots to be exact were subject to zero credit lines or unpaid leave only to be offset by senior pilots taking 35 hour COLAs. That happened in an instant. Would the company make you pay back the 35k if they furloughed you? I am guessing they would because they are fronting you the money. Are they committing to not furlough you for 3 years? Are they committing to keep your base open for 3 years? Are they committing to not terminate for using sick leave for the first three years?

This is a scheme and no one in their right mind would sign it. I flew with many pilots in 2019 and 2020 that had plans to stay here forever, even relocate their family to one of our growing bases. They are gone. 3 years is a long time.
