All the a-whole mismanagement at Trans States can do is ask. They will threaten more furloughs, but basically if they are really asking this, they are just trying to steal from the pilots. Things are not looking good for the pilots, but while they may be hosed, they definitely don't need any pay cuts. If those scum suckers in management truly need to furlough then pay cut or no pay cut they will do it and taking anything less is absolutely not necessary.
And what's with the lowering the bar crap? The pilots overwhelmingly voted down the POS extention/ pay scale that was offered for the GJ flying. Then GJ won the single carrier petition and is taking it to them now, but there is absolutely no lowering the bar going on. If they do accept a pay cut from the current rates, then say what you will and I'll agree they are lowering it because they wussed out for no real benefits since the company will furlough whatever they need reguardless of paycuts. I really don't see that pilot group cutting their own throats on this if it's real. They are in contract negotiations and the last negotiations went to a 100 percent strike vote I believe.
