I'm not with UA, DAL or AA. My company is looking at early retirements etc, which is certainly a complicated matter. IF we could prevent a fraction of our folks from getting cut (only speaking for myself), I would reduce my hours a bit, or take a pay cut with clear "snap-back" language. Even retraining many pilots in different planes is very expensive, and that also makes me wonder...

In any case, those furloughed by our company should receive medical insurance for the entire period they are off, even if the line pilots help subsidize. It worked in the early 90s.

Many of the main issues are much more complicated than many of us realize. It almost takes a law degree to understand our contract.
