Ah yes. The “Never AMR” crowd! Or Fight Club as they like to call it.
…..Even though it’s AAG now.
…..And all the former AMR Managers are gone
……And they are hiring 1500-2000 a year
……And retiring over 1000 a year
……And made $600 Million this quarter
…….And accepting new aircraft every month
……And have Narrow Body FOs making $500k
…..And have Narrow Body CAs making $900K
….And WideBody FOs working 10 trips a year
…And WideBody CAs making $1.2 Million
….And have guys getting 4 consecutive paid months off in a row with iMax
….And have the biggest hub right in there own backyard
….And the worlds largest training center right in their own backyard.
All because there egos won’t let them say…..yup, I should have just flowed. I’d be a 777 DFW RSV FO right now making $400K working 6 days a month, but instead I’ll soon be commuting to FLL, gone 20 days a month, to sit 18 days of Short Call Reserve for $275K.

sorry, but anyone who pretends that they took a furlough in order to save someone else’s job is completely FOS. You did save a job, but you took it because you either wanted the time off or already had another job and wanted the furlough pay. It’s like turning the lights off in your house and saying that you prevented global warming.

no pilots will be saved by not doing it. Only more CBA abuse.

I should've expanded regarding the SLI.
Won't change your seniority afterwards, but a buyout will probably result in fences and bonuses (lol) depending on seat.
Maybe hopefully?
In reality, The Long Defeat for Spirit more likely.

I just can’t bring myself to X or Y list when my fellow brothers and sisters are on the street right now. I’m old school I guess, but that’s how we did it back in the day. Just not right to pick up 200% when you got junior guys at home working at Home Depot just to make ends meet.
In fact you not doing the rare XY makes it more likely to cancel which hurts Spirit more than it will ever help anyone get recalled.

I’m guessing you will see an uptick in those “ Hey buddy how’s AA going “ texts shortly

Ah yes… that one wide body CA I heard of that makes a million dollars flex. Who cares. It’s not you and never going to be you. Dude probably had to suffer decades to get to that point. Maybe a couple of failed marriages. What about having great schedules and watching your kids grow up? How much is that worth. 10 years ago they probably would have told you’d be dumb to stay for the flow instead of going to Spirit, Hindsight is 20/20.
Hundreds made $800k plus
This brain wash that only NK pilots have QOL.
Have any idea how many AA pilots max (imax) out and have the last 3 months of the year off, and I’m not talking about FAA 117 max.

Haven’t reduced lines historically been offered to offset furloughs?
