Its voluntary, calm down. Not to mention if you want this It will allow you to qualify for unemployment. If you don’t want it don’t take it.

Because it's part of the job they were elected to do? If you can do better, go get voted in for a position. I'd rather have them instead of a hothead like you that just wants to to stir up drama for negative attention. From what I've heard, this was not done "overnight." It's completely voluntary so don't take it if you don't want it but don't trash it to try to get people fired up over nothing.

That's pretty important as well but sure, just try to shine a negative light on an loa and email that hurts absolutely no one. We would all be a lot better off if pilots didn't search for negativity even when there is none to be had. "Union brothers and sisters" you say? Act like one! Support the rest of the pilot group. Go volunteer your time to help make things better instead of hiding behind a keyboard. I talk to my reps and I would not want the jobs that they have - especially right now.

You can’t voluntarily take a leave of absence while still getting paid and also collect unemployment. Your statement sums up how uneducated people are on all of this. Good luck.

Depending what you make on your reduced rate and what state you are in, you may actually be eligible. You are just an angry human being. I feel sorry for you.

Seems like you just want to be back to high credit every month, which I hear ya brother, but its not ALPAs fault.

Nothing at all. We are just unfortunate to have a handful of pilots that enjoy using this platform as a way to bring others down to their level of unwarranted misery. You could give them all United 777 Captain pay and they would jump on here trying to get people mad by saying we "deserve" $5/hour more and an extra week of vacation to go with it. I'm not sure where this sense of entitlement comes from, but they are in for a rude awakening when the world shows them that their position as a regional pilot doesn't make them better than anyone else in the world.

There is a special exemption if your hours are voluntarily reduced due to the downturn caused by covid.
I find it amazing how uneducated people are too, especially when they throw that insult out without having any idea what they are talking about.

Thats how blind some of you are. We are back up to 75 hours until the union sends another LOA with no input from the pilots. Our flight attendants didn’t reduce their guarantee.
