You really believe there’s an equivalence between a relatively younger person losing their job, and a relatively well-off older person looking for extra?

How do you know anything about anyone being “well off”? I have a senior buddy who’s health care expenses for his teenage some are almost 10k a month. He lives almost paycheck to paycheck sometimes. Flew with a junior person whose spouse was CEO of a construction conglomerate and flies for “fun”. Sorry, we just look at things differently. Have fun with the quips though, you guys are the best!

Solipsism and total lack of empathy are textbook examples of sociopathic behavior. We're playing chess with a pigeon

yup, we had 2 LOAs, 20-03 consisted of allowing entirely voluntary staffing changes in exchange for 220 pilots not to get furloughed. that passed by the skin of its teeth (51% to 49%IIRC)

LOA 20-04 had numerous gains for the pilot group with no real downside unless you like having high time, straight pay lines awarded in PBS, and 1 in 4 pilots voted against that. It seems many of the no voters gripes centered around the fact that it gave a lifeboat to those about to get furloughed.

I also suppose that junior pilots don’t have family medical issues and senior pilots don’t marry rich.

Again, you make an equivalence between people who would lose their job, with people who won’t end up making some extra. Truly incredible.

Cool one-off anecdotes though. Very sound logic.

Remove that sentence, then read again. Now respond.

OBTW, since it doesn’t matter to you despite your many one-sided posts, you should know it doesn’t matter to me either. (At least not until I’m the one closing in on retirement

)
