Gee guys, sorry for not living 24/7 on these boards and answering your questions in realtime....
A good number of people who took voluntary exits agreed to get X months of pay at Y% and made those decisions based on the threat of a layoff on 01-Oct-2020. Sure, some made the decision based on other job offers or a desire to retire, but the data I've seen shows that a lot of lower seniority people who jumped on the exit offers (e.g. people with less than ten years).
If that layoff threat moves now to 31-Mar-2021, those people who knew they were at risk possibly gave up six months of full benefits and whatever their pay was going to be. Likewise, those who chose to retire and make room for someone younger to say also gave up six months of full benefits and whatever their pay would have been.
So..... SWAAmt or Robbed... please explain to me how walking away from half a years pay and benefits six months early isn't screwing them over?....
Further, I'd say an extension of the no-layoff clauses may also screw over active employees --- many of us were forced into reduced workweek schedules (effectively a 20% paycut if not more that complied with CARES language) thru October 2020. Our expectation was that reduced workweeks end once layoffs are allowed on 01-Oct-2020 and we get our 20% pay restored. If airlines are forced to defer layoffs and keep payroll as-is, I'd be willing to bet those "temporary" work schedule reductions get extended for another six months, and that's quite a hit.
