"EWR".....good explanation for TSquare.

It "really is" Apples v Oranges....That simple.

Either you DO have guys on Furlough (CAL), or you DON'T (DAL) have guys on Furlough. When looking at the topic of flying outside of your awarded line, it's "Apples v Oranges".....wrong to fly OT/Open Time when there are guys/gals on the street who could be 'staffing' those trips who would otherwise be on 'reserve' if they were on property.....in CAL's case, we are talking about 147 pilots!!

Two different Airlines, two different Furlough vs Non-Furlough cases, two different concepts of staffing Open Trips under different CBA's......In doubt, refer to the analogy above.....outside of it being black-n-white, nauseum we can agree upon.

One thing is for certain (as someone alluded earlier), pilots are self-serving. It makes my sick to see the "All for one, one for all" mantra is straight out the window at CAL on this topic. Having been part of organized labor (ALPA in this case) for 15+ years, at times like this I seem to have more faith in "Pixie Dust & the Tooth Fairy".

Sad indeed.
