I am not picking up a single hour of OT as long as people are furloughed. And further, I am actively chastising anyone who does. If you need OT to survive then you picked the wrong job (that's not a joke).

I don't go out of my way to stick it to crew scheduling but it is THEIR responsibilty to make sure staffing is adequate. Yes we are on the same team in the end but that means that they have to pull their own weight. I believe when bases are consistently short then the company will recall pilots.

I believe management made horrible decisions regarding staffing starting with the Saab retirements and this furlough issue is just the next chapter in the mismanagement saga.

The company has alot bigger problems than chasing down pilot identities on forums to make an example of them. Put yourselves in the position of those guys/gals getting furloughed. If you can do something to get them back even a month sooner it's worth it.
