So...The first new No-Furlough agreement of the COVID era has hit the street. Seems the pilot group doesn't even know what they gave up. Do No-Furlough agreements work for labor? Did EVERYBODY get burned in 2001 and/or 2008/9 or did it work out for anybody? What about before the Lost Decade? You have to admit, there was nowhere to hide in that period in this industry so I understand the Full Pay Till The Last Day crowd, but is there ANYTHING that works? It would appear that it has worked at FedEx, but it's already baked in, so things that are concessions somewhere else is more like pain-sharing that they know about already when they accept the job offer. What about cutting line values? Unlike pay rates or scope, management sure as hell is going to want to give that back when demand returns.
The intent is not to negotiate in public or to yell down boomers or to laugh at millennials. I genuinely want to know opinions and experiences from a group I respect, some of which have MEC experience.
