You are raising 50k for about 10 pilots. Thats 5k per pilots. How long is it going to last them? Do you plan on using Gofundme platform to raise income until United reinstates their class which no one knows when that might be?
Totally impractical and unrealistic!
So far, 800 people have donated $40k. Averages out to $50 per donation. Many threw a $20 in the hat. So for the price of one dinner, the collective voice of the pilot Union has stepped up to support their future United brothers and sisters. If there was stress about making a mortgage payment or having credit card bills pile up, it will help. And you can bet they are going to pay it forward the next time someone else needs a hand. Hopefully they will be on property soon.
