First off, Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to all...

To all those on furlough, I hope you are getting by and finding a way to relax this holiday season. I've never been where you are, and thus, I cannot relate to it. That being said, I understand that times are very challenging right now, and I'm grateful to be where I am.

Moving forward: I want to introduce a slightly different question here.

If we can all concede that picking up open time with other company pilots on the street is, at the very least, bad form, then what is the most appropriate deterrent?

What is the best means to stop this without being destructive and really going overboard? Others have pointed out that it's not a simple black and white issue, as people doing it could also be in financial straits...

So what is appropriate? Pulling people aside? Listing the pilots that do it?

I haven't even made it to training yet, so this is all pretty much academic to me.

Again, Merry Christmas...and I hope things start looking up for everyone.
