The problem is that, by announcing speculative furloughs then extending them, the management could be doing this as a tactic to increase their flexibility at the expense of the pilots. Let's take this to an extreme. What if the management announces they need to furlough the bottom 50 (20%) pilots in thirty days then does 26 extensions of 2 week each. In this scenario, they have effectively reduced their furlough notification from 30 days to 14 days for a year. The same as ATSG/ATI. In other words, they just stole a free contract concession without even having to fight over it.

Doesn't the above hypothetical scenario provide for a one year notification? 365>30>14

Yet you come and post this gem anyway? Feel better? Don't be a stranger, hard hitting posts like yours always raises the intellectual level of the discussion.
