People keep acting like junior 777 FOs will block against a furlough, but if you’ve tracked the progress of 23-01 at all, many of the junior WB FOs are getting pushed down into the 757. Now they are reducing the 757 fleet rapidly. I’m sure the bidpacks will get thinner and thinner for more bodies in the seat. BLGs lower, SAM lower…
Consider the remaining 767 options gone. Once we turned down the initial 8 Boeing has the right to terminate the other 18 options, which they will. Another UPS win.
4a2b then c. Then a measly amendment period penalty payment just pays you back for the money you lost due their over hiring and subsequent 54 hour BLGs. They’re allowed to royally screw up and we pay for it.
