Different companies have different methods of reducing costs when times are hard.

Some years ago the majority of BA Pilots accepted a near 5% annual paycut so that a minority of volunteer pilots could take half pay leave for a few months. (As negotiated by BALPA). A little pain for everyone saves a lot of pain for a few. I don't recall if other groups in BA had the same "deal".
