My guess is that if the company comes looking for concessions, it will be told by the union to pound sand until they can show us the money they throw away at a crazy rate with poor scheduling practices is way reduced. Even then any changes in one place will cost them something somewhere else like the last IBB. The union here has done it's best not to make the same mistakes that ALPA did and giving away anything is probably not going to happen here. If we need to furlough, so be it. It will suck for those of us who are on the street, but at least a good job would be waiting when the recall comes. There is a reason why so many furloughed mainline pilots didn't return when the recalls came. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. This economy is about the biggest bucking bronco I've ever seen and I just hope as many as possible can hang on for the ride.
