2. If enough people don't take COLAs, then furloughs will result

Those are both straight facts. What's the problem here?
You're missing something here.

He recommended I stop drinking the kool aid and that any time you lose 20% of your flying you're hosed. He didn't simply say, "You lost 20% of your flying," he said you're hosed when you do. We're proving otherwise with good luck.

And yes I'm well aware that if enough people don't take the furloughs we're furloughing. I'm on the chopping block as we speak, actually, as I only have 168 people below me
