Ironically our furlough language in Sec 4, for a lack of better term, allows MGT to reduce monthy hourly guarantees while still not capping extra flying.
That is very true and when times are fat good on you. But that was then, and this is now. We need to force the company not to allow protecting your carry over if the are reducing the BLG, it is thousands of hours they are not paying out to the rest of the crewforce.
