I was riding the employee bus once and had an interesting conversation with a greybeard about whether or not we had pilots on furlough. There were well over 1,000 furloughed at the time, and he was adamant there wasn't any. He said, and this is a direct quote "If we had guys on furlough, my buddies would have told me".

There's letting emails slide while on vacay, and there's being completely checked out because you're untouchable and then doubling down and not recognizing it.
