IF you feel saving the saddle is worth selling the horse. All the OT on earth now, is not worth a furlough later in my book. My favorite is a guy 30 from the bottom picking up OT. Let that factor into the next staffing numbers crunch.

You can draw your lines in the sand how you want. I draw mine here, there is zero reason to pick up OT when we are furloughing. Period. We are still some what of a brother hood. If its that important trip trade into higher time trips there cowboy.

I'm sure it wouldn't stop a furlough but it can help mitigate one.

it prevented the furlough of over 200 more pilots at UPS.

They are for sure, my friend who is an FA showed me the email.

Its slow though, its a slow return of those on voluntary leave.

Good part is we have not furloughed any involuntary to my knowledge.
