Wow. Get a clue. There isn’t one gate agent, new hire FA, or ramper that will shed a single tear nor stop picking up overtime because pilots are furloughed. I’ll never understand this bleeding heart “logic”.

You're right - Being here less than five years, I don't have the "Us against Management" mentality. As far being naive, I just want as many people as possible to come out of this thing ok on the other side!

Everything we have seen so far has been highly orchestrated. Every statement, emotion, figure omitted, figure presented has it's purpose. It's playing out just like it did 18 years ago.
If you want as many to come out of this ok then there are three things you can do. Call your reps and get factual information. Based upon that information, give them your opinions. Then, and most importantly, let you union speak for you. True unionism will benefit the "many people" you describe.

The reserves are waiving days on these trip thus most of the time able to break guarantee.
