I think the union says BS on AABO not sharing in the furloughs, but the legalities may say something else. AABO is a bargaining chip that the company wants to keep.
Won't be the first time on this issue.
I think the remaining crewmembers will be taking this into account the next time they are asked to jump through hoops to move an A/C by the company.
Also heard the system chief pilot will be returning to the line. Don't think it was voluntary. MBSCP for life. Current replacement being the ANC chief pilot. I wouldn't expect much of a change on how they lie to and beat the crews though.
