Myself along with many others are strugling with a difficult furlough, that will be long lasting.
I find it interesting that after the tragedies there was so much talk of brotherhood and togetherness. Now no furloughed pilot can get a job without being asked to resign senority. This has become so "trendy" I've had coporate flight departments ask for it.
So let me get this straight, after years of goal directed sacrafices I'm supposed to chalk it all off as a loss and start over. In essence Flight Officers are being punished for what happened in September. Flight departments will be happy to exploit your skills, but only if you promise them your world, and don't think you'll get the same forever commitment out of any employer.
Not once have I been asked if I would excercise the 2 year LOA written into my contract, which I would gladly do. I would be nice to see some of that togetherness we all claimed to have.
Obviously we will all get thru this and be much wiser for the wear. I don't intend this to take a complaining tone, just to illustrate a fact. Let's practice what we preach.
