Ok. So you'd rather the company furlough everyone, and have to retrain (hopefully) thousands from the start? That's crazy.
I'd rather get a little something for doing a sim every 90 days and to keep up on my distance learning so the company has the flexibility to go from zero to xx,xxx hours a month extremely quickly. Nobody is even inferring you'd work an entire month "for free".
Another plus is you'd still be classified as an active employee, so in the event of a merger when lists are merged you'd still have a seat at the table.

You’re all over the place with your bizarre predictions in just about every thread on this forum. The only person in APC-world that seems to post more than you is RickAir77777777. Might consider taking a breather. FWIW, I might not always agree with you, but you bring good value to this forum... that being said, it seems like you’ve traded quality for quantity since this crisis started.

Why would you take 10 hours/month to do what you’re saying when you could take the VSTLOA at 55 hours/month for 1/3/6 months? Or a 12 month VELOA with zero responsibilities?

Ya think? I posted about it a few days ago running the math. There is pretty much zero chance of any airline coming out the other side unless they park almost everything and furlough almost everyone, even with loans, unless something changes.
You can't run sub 10% load factors on $30 fares. The last carrier standing may be able to make it work (SWA/Spirit?).
Maybe we can negotiate say 10 hours of pay a month for staying current.
