I’m saying that furloughing would be cheaper and better for the pilot group as a whole than to cut everyone’s wages. The pilots furloughed would still have about the same take home pay and the pilots flying would make more than if we were to cut guarantee. It would also give a peace of mind to everyone on the bottom that we would take care of them until we bring them back online.
If UPS cuts guarantee by 5 hours a FO would lose $630 and a Captain would lose over $1,150 a pay period. I would rather give the money to a furloughed pilot than back to the company.
