No, my sources aren't P2P's, and they certainly aren't management. I'm just really concerned that this is going to further divide our pilot group (which is exactly what management wants). We'd have the no voters on one one side, pointing the finger at the yes voters, who will be on the other side trying to defend themselves.... all the while management continues to laugh and find ways to screw us again.
For me at least, I don't really care what caused the furloughs right now. I am more concerned with making sure those 100 pilots will be okay. Some have families, kids, etc. Rather than sit around and complain and play the blame game, I'd like to find a way to help those folks, and make sure this doesn't happen any more.

PBS ALWAYS leads to reduced staffing, that's why airline managements absolutely love it.
I think you're right. And I have been trying to remember that Brooklyn Bridge line for a while now. THANK YOU for saying it! haha!

No I don't wear a red lanyard, and no I don't have anything to do with management - I'm just a lowly f/o.
