UAL offered their guys either 45 or 55 per month, but they bid for that line and it did not include any flying. They took their CH and went home. It was a monthly bid line. If you wanted the lower pay but no work you bid it and stayed at home. You just had to maintain currency in order to bid. Of course you'd have to bid a line at least every three months to get your landings. Assuming of course you could afford to take the pay cut. That way the guys tight on cash can continue to get paid normal and those that can afford not to work can do so. If no one wanted the line I suppose it would go to the guys at the bottom, but better than a furlough. The bottom line is still the same for the company. Most at 68 some at 50. Things that make you go Hummm.
