You are pretty clueless then if that is really what you think! There is so much going on behind the scenes that you (or me) are privy to.
Things are still being negotiated to mitigate furloughs. Believe me when I say this current MEC is committed to this pilot group; even more so than the last MEC.
I understand that you are probably frustrated with the whole situation, especially if you are on the furlough bubble and it's easy to point fingers, but they are fighting hard for the
entire pilot group, not just the senior fellas or junior guys. And contrary to what you believe or how some people may have misread some of the communication, furloughs are the top priority.
