This is truly an issue that will capture EVERYONE's interest. No one will be willing to part with the $$.
I think that is in the junior guy's favor as I believe it is too expensive to furlough and when that threat comes it will be a hollow one.

This one, if done legally, would hit across all seats, all aircrat types. So if the word was "this will mean X% pay reduction for every swinging d1ck on the seniority list" I think you'll get a higher level of participation. Just my wishful side showing again.......

Sharing of pain??
Who are we kidding here? Sharing of the pain is BS. Those with seniority don't share pain, he11 they just created a whole batch of it.
We all signed up for this job knowing good and well that we'd be done at age 60.
Now all the geezers are smiling ear to ear since they get to sit up front some more. They don't think about who they are affecting...they aren't sharing any pain.
The closest thing to sharing pain is if the geezers fill up the new FDA's at that pitiful pay rate those of you who voted FOR the loa created.

I'd heard about them... hadn't seen one in a while. And I can add carryover to that, and bid LCA lines and get bumped and pick up more trips... is this a great system or what.. how much of that can I get with my juniority?

Actually Knucklehead wasn't my word.. it was
MEMFO4EVR: "Ever fly with some of these knuckleheads that went to the back seat? We do it all the time."
we were discussing how some of those "knuckleheads" may be Capt's again....
