Furlough Estimates

[KLB]

I mean, when you're unemployed welfare is part of your citizen benefit package. It was just an example of republicans inside the fold of government benefits like pilots do and I assume we are going to put trailer park trash in there too. Politics isnt nessissarily defined by where ur fed.

Yup! And we are all paying into unemployment just in case we need it one day.

The dissonance is even better at a non-union shop, when AFA and ALPA have been beating down the Capitol doors for this.

The amount of butt hurt when teamsters endorsed Biden is hilarious. Did they really think they were gonna go the other way?

Almost to a t, the people I meet who are the most against government run healthcare are on some sort of government run healthcare.

I love watching military guys mouths drop when they find out what insurance costs in the real world. 3x now ive been priveledged to mutter exasperatedly, "yeah thats what that whole public health option debate is about"

I just had a conversation today with a friend who made a clean break after 10 years to go fly corporate. He said his only regret is the healthcare stuff. Still though, it’s just a part of the retirement benefits package. Taxpayer funded yes, but so is literally every dime I’ve earned in my entire career. It’s basically a contract between DOD and it’s workers. That’s a big difference from a social program.

Now, there is definitely merit to scaling it up for the “citizens benefits package” but there needs to be quite a bit of evolution in both the healthcare industry and the tax base.

So, is there a difference between a bail out and socialism?

Bail outs require upfront money to pay for lobbying. With socialism, you can be poor to start with and still get a benefit.

Cool, because I’d like to skip the food lines and the fact that it’s never (in the history of time) worked.

Sounds like eavesdropping on a conversation in The Villages in Florida.

I literally heard, at Toojays, “Obamacare is socialist. The Affordable Care Act is way better”

Back to corporate for a year for me. It looks like only two of us so far have taken the voluntary furlough, but that could change. At least it’s two less guy on the street.

Yes. Socialism would mean nationalizing the airlines. People throw around the word socialism for everything that involves government, but the reality is that socialism is only a system in which the means of production are owned by the state. Giving out money to certain industries is not ownership of the means of production. These are still publicly traded corporations owned by private citizens.

Yup. Just poking holes in the zero fact posts.

Good move.

I wouldn’t want the paranoia of being too low on the seniority list in case the airline decides to ‘double dip’.

Glad I got to finally meet you. And I got a cool sticker out of it too!

Also I have a cool new profile picture.
