I guess you haven't coordinated these statements with the former NWA ALPA. While furloughing, they negotiated for the heavy drivers pick up additional flying and sent a message to the masses that flying overtime (x 1.5 pay over 80) does NOT effect staffing. Not aiming at you ACL, just reminding some redtailers what ALPA did for the furloughed brothers. After all, they wanted to ensure the furloughed guys had well paying jobs to return to.
