Furlough over permanent cuts.
But none of the COVID stuff contained permanent cuts. My regional, our LOA expired every 3 months and needing reupped. UAL had triggers when full contract provisions would come back, etc.
Only APA said, " Nah" to all that and said, " furlough away because I got furloughed as well". And the former DCA VC saying he was done fighting for the junior guy. And in an email to a person facing furlough basically said tough luck, I got furloughed too once, and it will make you a better person, etc.
