The main purpose of the VIL bid is to help from furloughing guys. Now i see it going to senior commuters since we all are going to be on rsv come may. Giving up 22hrs to not worry about cancelled flights or buying hotels. I think a base like Las needs more vil because that is a commuter base

Hopefully another email is enroute better explaining our strategy and what can be done to help the company survive so that we can make informed decisions about reduced hour lines, LOA and whatnot.

I’d say that’s not nothing

Also if things are somewhat open in your region by that time it would be a great month to not be beholden to the company even on rsv in base.
Mostly beautiful weather nation wide. Instead of kicking rocks at home not getting called on rsv in May, but not able to leave you could be on a camping trip of road trip seeing national parks for a month. Sounds awesome.

yeah I’m torn because I have Vacation in May. Seems like a waste to burn it, might be better off doing the VIL and take the Cub somewhere (clearly not Sun & Fun because it got CoronaCxld
