If CX goes insolvent, then the whole conversation is moot. The point is to keep CX from insolvency by right sizing the airline to meet demand. We have a mechanism for that, so either use it or negotiate with the pilot unions for something different (more basings, early retirements, partial pay leave of absences, etc).
I’m quite fatigued by loudmouth brats claiming protection derived purely from cheapness. That’s a ridiculous claim and one that should be firmly rebuked every time it is raised. It comes from a place of entitlement and ignorance. Pay your dues young pilots. The possibility of furlough is and was reality for every pilot on any seniority list, ever. I swear this new generation has lost the plot.
Who raised these twats? Oh, that’s right, we did. We really did a horrible job. Where did we go wrong? I honestly tried, but obviously failed. Perhaps the influence of technology has convinced these cretins that they can simply ignore the generations preceding them. They want what they want when they want it. No waiting! Socialism now! To hell with the consequences. If it feels good, do it.
