You do have interesting points (but unless you are in upper management, then they are assumptions). If correct, then we all need to run for cover.



However, I don't believe the sky is falling. This company has a long history of poor daily performance and above average profitability. I don't see that changing much (outside of a merger or Maury departing).



This isn't my first rodeo either. And my experience has been that the worker bees are the last to know (good or bad). It's not until you see the press release that you know the company is furloughing, merging, or buying a large number of airplanes.


I personally don't like the hotel idea, but I'm just a pilot. What do I know about diversifying a multi billion dollar company? This whole industry is crap shoot. Any one of the airlines could be the next to furlough in the next recession. If you're unhappy, then leave. As for me, I like it here and will stay. I'll also try to make this a better place to work while I'm here.
