It's moot now since they announced recalls, but before that announcement, it was ****ty to do that. The whole point of not picking up trips is to force mgmt to start canceling flights, because that's the motivation to bring furloughees back. If mgmt sees that they can get by with only the pilots on property and can depend on them to pick up flights, why would they bring on more expense? Do you really think a recall would happen if flights were not being canceled or has the potential to be canceled? Why, because they just love pilots?
I want to believe that majority(more than 50%) of NK pilots understand this, which could be why flights were still being canceled even if some pilots were "helping out".
But keep justifying your actions.
As I said, the recall is happening so it's moot now.

It would probably be better if they str8 up say they don't give a crap about the furloughs, "show me the money". Atleast they would be honest.
So you can see the possibility that picking up can be helpful to furloughs and that crediting high credit can be more than just selfishness? Or are you still sticking with your original opinion, that it’s only selfish, and not helpful? I think that might be the point you are missing or avoiding. I’ve agreed that it’s a possibility that picking up extra could be delaying furloughed pilots returning. Now can you agree that too much pressure could cause the company to collapse which would be bad for furlough pilots? Can you maybe, just maybe see that? Or do you only see it as selfishness? What if the pilots did it for free? Or would that be bad too, because then it would be not be getting paid enough, not be getting paid what legacy pilots make. Get paid too much and selfish. Get paid too little and a company man, lowering the bar, the laughing stock of the industry.
