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.
Don’t take these comments personal. I certainly don’t. Most are just projecting. Trying to justify why they left. Perhaps envious of $500+/hr A320 pay they could have been making right now if they would have just taken that AA class 3 months later. Because none of these clowns have looked at it from a credit perspective vs a block perspective.
someone picking up open time blocking 98 hours and crediting 98 hours is doing more of an injustice to the “bringing back furlough” debacle, compared to someone who blocks 40 and credits 78 due to premium trips. That person frees up 38 hours of block. Oh but the Y list should go to reserves you say? No. A reserve would never get assigned to an outstation trip.
