I was initially thinking this VPTO thing was a good idea. I've got mil duty I can lean on and be home every night like I did during ETO/EXTO/VSP. After listening to the "podcast" from SWAPA, I'm going to have to say I am now against this offer (in whatever form it takes). This is WAY different than what we were dealing with during COVID-19. This is clearly short-term, unlike COOF, during which we had no clue how long the drought would last.

Green bars should flow. We work under a COLLECTIVE bargaining agreement. However convenient this would have been for me (seniority permitting), I don't want anyone else shouldering the crap lines that will eventually arise when demand suddenly outweighs supply. Perhaps if the company had taken one of the MULTIPLE historical opportunities it had to diversify from Boeing, we wouldn't be discussing this. But here we are.

I hope the BOD receives a 5x5 message on this.
