Purpledog said:Tell me what happens after oil gets stuck at $80+ a barrel and your company is hemmorraging money quarter after quarter. Do you think your management will be so "nice" then and not twist your expemption into trying to get back to the black? You all might have a good relationship now, but this could, and probably will change when money becomes a problem. Good luck, I hope it never happens.
I'll tell you exactly what they will do. (although I am sure you will not believe it, and I don't care). They will come to the pilot group in a calm, concerned way and ASK for help. You see, we have a level headed relationship with our management group and I certainly don't expect you to understand. There have been many (repeat many) challenges and downturns in this business that have effected JB in a negative way over the past 5+ years and we (all of the JB team) have fielded them quite well in my opinion.
Example in the form of a question: How many airlines had cutbacks and furloughs due to 9/11? I'll tell you what I think is correct. I can think of maybe three that did not, of which JB was one of. In fact, we only cut back our flight schedule for about 2-3 weeks and did not furlough or cutback ONE PERSON. In fact, although they withheld the "promised" 32% pay increase, they paid it retroactively a few months later (just in time for a fat Christmas check, which was awesome).
Does that answer your question?
