Well, we never had furloughed pilots before. Why waste negotiating capital on something that may never be used? We didn't have flight benefits until recently, as far as the history of ASA... I'm sure back then they never considered furloughing pilots.
That being said, in the next contract I'm sure it will be something to go for, but that's no consolation for you.
