Making money is good for obvious reasons.... What worries me, and others junior like me, is shareholders make money whether there are 617 pilots or 500 pilots.....
I want the company to be profitable. That is given... What I don't want is HA to figure that it is more profitable doing X amount of routes with X amount of airplanes.. X being something less than it is today...
Don't get me wrong, still happy as poop working here. Love my job, but been through several companies (6) over the last 13 years. It always seems to start the same.. "Nobody worry, just an adjustment...." Next thing ya know, all hell breaks loose. At any other airline losing 2 routes is hardly noticed.. Here it's a good chunk of our wide body route system.
No sky falling, but still keeping a keen eye on it.. I guess it is good HA stock still jumped 7% last I checked this morning. Big firm upgraded their rating from hold to buy... So someone still is seeing good things even though it has been a crappy week of memo's (vacancy bid, FUK, TPE, KOA-HND loss)
