I don’t know why you continue to rationalize your personal enrichment, just be honest. You are stepping on your brothers necks for the peanuts you are paid, staring at the shadows on the cave wall, lashing out at AA in a laughable fashion.

I’ve agreed that it’s a possibility that picking up extra could be delaying furloughed pilots returning. Now can you agree that too much pressure could cause the company to collapse which would be bad for furlough pilots? Can you maybe, just maybe see that? Or do you only see it as selfishness? What if the pilots did it for free? Or would that be bad too, because then it would be not be getting paid enough, not be getting paid what legacy pilots make. Get paid too much and selfish. Get paid too little and a company man, lowering the bar, the laughing stock of the industry.

This is how that traditional pilot-on-furlough idea works. I am thankful that the "help" you guys provided wasn't enough to cover everything and pilots (who didn't move on) can come back to work.

You can keep the justification. Don't need it, recalls happening. It's moot. You can pick up with a conscience again. Don't care if u take it personal or not, not my point. I will be saying the same thing to someone else if (God forbid) I, you or E-exit is furloughed.

But it is legal per the CBA, and does not constitute the "S" word.

I'd cut people a break for an airline on the jagged edge, in their second BK in less that a year, on a meltdown weekend.

Some people with family obligations are in a real bind with moving on. Especially if you live in base, and the ex gets alimony, child support, etc. You won't get a break on visitation or support if you "decide" to take a lower paying job in another state. The court will consider that "intentional under-employment" on your part, and punish you accordingly (unless the ex agrees to a short-term haircut and flexibility for the collective long-term good.

You guys are a dime a dozen. It’s the rot of the world from politics to religion to all sorts of outrage topics. You see one side, get in your group collective echo chamber, and can’t actually see that what you are so opinionated about is just that….an opinion. You formed an opinion before you understood the full matter. And now your emotions confirm and support the only evidence you look for and see.
