throw in 50-100% add pay and the layover becomes a bit more palatable... I bet some senior folks are ****ed that junior pilots are snapping up these trips when they hit 50-75% PP.

Furloughs are paid with with the pay cuts of others, not to mention the pay protection windfalls. Delta got it right where only the would be furloughed get a pay cut.
