You want pilots to donate to the pilots on the street BUT you don't want them to increase their flying to help pay for the guys on the street? Am I understanding you correctly?
not that I disagree with the open time argument but if you feel it was handled as well as it could have been, why the problem with others picking up open time? seems a little contradictory
In my opinion picking up open time while pilots are on furlough is no different than flying flights dropped by a pilot group on strike.
If you pick up anything in open time you are directly delaying the furloughed pilot being recalled.
If I were on furlough and knew someone was stabbing me in the back, I could think of a couple things.
Oh here we go.
Let me ask you and the other pilots a question.
Did you vote FOR or Against the current CBA?
Voted FOR. What's your point?
That I did not vote against so that there could be another section prohibiting picking up open time added to the CBA?
I guess I thought that common sense and decency would not require that people be contractually obliged to do the right thing.
It appears that you are proving me wrong.
I'd very much like to see a list of people who have picked up open time after the furlough was announced. Very much indeed.

Furloughs suck. Period. But bickering among the pilots about who's picking up open time, or who's not donating $$$ etc. isn't helping the situation. Personally I take this as a kick in the ass to do everything I can do, to make ASA a viable option for future growth. That is the only way we are getting these guys back, and everyone needs to get on board with that. There are still a lot of crews who are apathetic to fuel conservation, D-0 and customer service. So instead of arguing, second guessing our management, and cursing Delta, do something about it. There's 1630 of us after Feb. 9th who can give the furloughed guys the biggest gift of all, and that's just by doing our jobs, and doing them in the most efficient, professional manner possible.
