I think its funny to see people get on these boards who have been on the job for a whole year, maybe, talking about "brothers and sisters" and "solidarity" telling others who are much more experienced in this business what they should and should not do. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but lets get real. I couldnt care less if people pick up open time. I can honestly say, I wouldnt care if I was furloughed either. Don't automatically assume people pick open time because they are greedy and just want more. Maybe for some, but that's not always the case. I know people at a certain US Express carrier who pick up open time. These people range from 1st year FO's to check airman. There is no solidarity here. That is obvious in our contract. The FO's were sold down the river with the excuse "you'll be Captains in a year anyway". The more senior guys here could care less about about some 8 month FO. Harsh, but it's reality. TK and KH will bring those furloughed back when they are good and ready and not a minute sooner. Pick up open time, don't pick it up, who cares. Spend more time focusing on getting people where they need to go safely, and less on what others, who you don't even know, are doing.
