I don't think you're speaking for a majority!
We aren't talking about me. We are talking about CAL/UAL whom has 147/1400+ on furlough. The J4J program has UAL furloughs flying the right seat of GoJets & Skywest for those wages right now. So taking back that flying at those payrates isn't a hit for them. It would get them back on line at mainline and they'd most likely end up under better work rules with the new contract, or in the case of Skywest work rules period.
If they have furloughees flying those airplanes while they aren't at mainline then it's clear that they'd have ZERO problems doing it at mainline under a better contract. As you've said, it's not all about $$$.
