To each his own, I guess. But if he was furloughed last October, I could count about 800 pilots, give or take, who were furloughed already that might take issue with people picking up open time. It was very easy at United to get on the computer and see who was flying open time. And using..."I'm about to get furloughed anyways" generally wasn't a valid excuse.
