Bookingsareup is right.
I don't pick up any open time because
A. - I'm too lazy to work more than my line and
B. - It's a symbolic show of unity with the furloughed guys.
However, I am under no illusions about the practical value of refusing to pick it up. Management is still going to fill the cockpit seats, but now, instead of using some guy that actually wants or needs the time, they will simply use a reserve or juniorman some poor guy who was about to go home and eat dinner with his family. We posture and brag about not picking up open time, and management laughs and saves money.
