Don't give them any ideas!

Voluntary junior man. There are always VJM helpers during the meltdowns, whether it's from sick calls, natural disaster, or just poor planning. All the company has to do is put out a bulletin. There were 9 this summer which in the end covered the whole summer.

As a furloughed guy - all I can do is shake my head in disgust.

Sad indeed. Another reason why the JCBA should include a mandatory moratorium on VJM (UAL JRM) as well as a cap on credit time (with non of CAL's DH stuff either to plus up) when folks are still on the street.

A reduced cap on credit time is a critical component; I don't know if eliminating VJM would be needed. I would MUCH RATHER have lowered credit time caps than a no furlough clause.
There would also need to be an elimination of banking credit time during furloughs.

Having caps in place could be a win-win for both management and labor, as it would reduce training costs generated from surplus bids. All of the money wasted in retraining pilots is akin to the broken window fallacy.

I'd also suggest that there should be a requirement for unlimited voluntary LOAs and reduced (down to, say, 40 credit hour) lines while pilots are furloughed. Not every pilot wants to work 100+ credit hours every month.

I could not agree with you more!
