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.
I was actually pretty surprised by the behavior of senior pilots towards me when I was going to be furloughed. Nobody really conveyed sympathy or anything just an attitude of we all get furloughed suck it up. APA made it clear they didn't value me in any way because I wasn't senior.
