My heart goes out to all who are furloughed, I feel for you, and hope it turns around soon.
agree to disagree on this. I cant see it from their perspective, especially from some of the burned out, surly lifers we have. If you are near the top or maxing out our payscale, especially on the 70/90, why would you NOT rather see line values reduced if it meant people could remain employed?!
This is a fundamental problem with pilot groups, unions and our entire profession to an extent. It's "hooray for me and to hell with you, you probably didn't deserve the job anyway." I would bet that if this is true, these people have not been furloughed and have not had to work some dog $*** job just to scrape by til recall.
You want to talk management not being as employee friendly as they'd like you to think? Fine. Skywest conspiracy? I'm game to discuss. But when you have the possibility of fellow pilots pushing for furloughs for personal gains its purely disgusting
