I am curious about open time too.... I know I would never do it when there are furloughs on the street... but what is the deal now, while we dont have any furloughs yet...... talking to a bunch of different FO's a lot said they were trying to get open time this month and fly a lot to save up some extra cash since THEY were getting furloughed......... trying to save money and get hours before they get the boot.... what are the thoughts on that? 75 hours of pay hurts.....even worse when u know u wont even get that a month or two from now
