I’m willing to bet that they haven’t read it. For their sake, I REALLY hope NK doesn’t shut its doors. If it does and they make it to a legacy and their legacy brothers and sisters find out they picked up premium when people were on furlough… Well, safe to say they will find themselves on some sort of list.

You're not just trying to cover trips to keep the operation going. You're waiting until its financially beneficial for YOU and then doing it.

If you are concerned about the company surviving and not just doing this for yourself, why not just pick up open time at straight pay since its saving the company money? Why wait until its extra pay, costing the company even more?

It’s not though. I’ve flown with senior folks who have said “eff that guy. He was picking up while we furloughed.” This was not a one off either. Some people don’t forget these types of things. I’m also willing to bet that this isn’t just one legacy either.
NK Union came out with a communication about putting their coworkers on a list for this very thing when the first round of furloughs happened.
It wasn’t a threat nor a scare tactic, but a possible reality IF they go off to a legacy (and this info gets out). Maybe what I wrote came off threatening (wasn’t meant to be). Unfortunately, that is a possibility.
It’s more of a heads up, but it won’t (and probably wasn’t) taken that way

The root of it all is management and how they decide to staff the airline. Not on the pilots to sort out their mess. I’d say yall have done more than enough (along with other labor groups at NK) to help management out
