Everyone knew it would happen. No way this pilot group won’t clean out open time while under furlough.

Has there ever been a pilot group that hasn't done that?

I honestly don't know, but I doubt it

Yes, the IPA (UPS pilots). For four years we held the line and took EB direction on open time pickup.

It's not "picking up". It's all about the pilots who got kicked out of their bases. The Jr CA, and Jr FO bases have a ton of open time now. Everyone dropped there and picked back up in their home.

Gotta hold that line for all those being furloughed that were gonna jump to a real airline the second they could anyway... This aint 2008 where people couldn't get any job in aviation.

It is very tough to get a job in aviation right now unless you've got a resume for the big 3/UPS and unfortunately not every Spirit pilot trying to bail is getting love from them.

Anyone remember what happened last time “picking up open time” was discussed on this forum?

OT pickup is probably least of the worries right now. More like will the company be around
