Up until a few days ago I had 3 other people depending on me to make it on second year FO pay. Now I only have 2 but my obligation is still the same. I wouldn't dare pick it up so I can buy something fun or even eat out, but I will if my family needs me to. Whether I pick up OT or get a second job I would still in a way be taking work away from our furloughed few.
How would working an outside second job be taking away from the furloughed few? Please pal, 2nd year pay is what 30-34 an hour... divided by your duty time it's really half that... so, you can't make 15-17 doing something else? BS

I'm not at all saying work for free, just do what you were freaking hired to do people. Would it be to hard to even wear a smile?
You just got done saying you can't pay your rent, and in the same email, your advocating the pilots reducing their cost... makes a great soundbyte buddy, but just where do you think that reduction will come from other than your paycheck.... STOP DRINKING THE MANAGEMENT KOOLAID !!!!

That was when it was still a profession. You weren't here then.

Great, another fantastic soundbyte.... this didn't stop you from taking a 12 dollar an hour airline pilot job though did it ? Tall talk, no substance.

What does any of that have to do with working overtime?
