It is not much, but atleast it was a show of consideration on the side of management. As far as me being selfish and not caring about work rules and whatever. Read my posts, I pointed out that at other airlines (Delta, and FedEx) you would get paid the same for similar a/c eventhough the 2 are very diffrent in payload or seating capabilities. Same can be said for the minor differences between the 700 and the 900.
What do you want the union to do for you? You were employed by PSA, not ALPA. You were furloughed by PSA, not ALPA. You will hopefully be recalled by PSA, not ALPA.
ALPA can only tell you what the company tells them which is nothing. ALPA cannot influence mgt into calling you back. We have some reserves that haven't flown in two months. Until all reserves are flying over guarantee, you won't be called back.
Sorry if all this sounds harsh, but it is the brutal truth. I hope something changes and all you guys come back. Best of luck to you.
