Well, why don’t you take the COLA and go make money somewhere else? You talk about taking one for the team. You could leave and save the Company/Management money and return when SK says it’s all good.

I think the company was probably estimating needing around 2K furloughs come summer ‘21, which is why they allow themselves that number in the TA. Where they were anticipating 2K furloughs and the rest at full pay, we’ve locked in up to 2K furloughs & concessionary pay for the rest for up to a year plus. Of course, that’s all just based on predictions. Only time will tell who was right.
I think we got played and fully expect 2000 furloughs on June 1.

I disagree. I don’t think the company was in a position to furlough 1500 or so NB FO’s on Oct 1. We got played.

I don’t think the company was in a position to furlough the numbers they advertised for October. In the bottom 2000 something like 1800 NB FO’s. I just completed NB RQ3 training in September which is the short course and all the instructors kept remarking how few people have been trained.
I think we got played and fully expect 2000 furloughs on June 1.

Still better than 2850 furloughs by Dec 1.

Wrong. The question is were we fat by at least 2850 in the NB FO categories, i.e. the lambs to be slaughtered, for the level of flying? 50 reserves per day in some bases. So yes we were.

Exactly...all these guys puffing their chest about "more time off" probably haven't lifted a finger to take any voluntary leave options since this mess started.
