One of my buddies was talking with a manager in the AOC the day that 08-03 was cancelled and was told that the first thing they are going to go after is getting rid of carryover flying. No specific timeline given on this.
I wouldn't be surprised to see this, then the company limiting/eliminating voluntary flying, then possibly a 5-7 hour drop in BLG's as a last resort. I would GLADLY take the pay cut in order to keep all of our folks on the property!!! Too bad some folks don't feel that way...wonder what it's like to not have a soul or conscience?
I must have missed the answer to the original question...Do BLG's/RLG's stay down at 48 and 60 while folks are on furlough? It would only seem fair that this be the case while folks are on the street looking for some way to provide for their families...Hope it doesn't come to this.
