It wasn't just a few weeks ago and everyone was spouting off how ual was going to fly 787's and 777 to leisure markets, competing with he ULCC. Yet all we hear about are their guys getting paid 50 hours, sitting at home and the legacies reducing schedules.
I'm not on the bottom of any list, but the last thing a new hire needs is more stress. The possibility of furlough is stress enough without a bunch of ninnies running their mouths. Let's see where the chips fall, without all the mass hysteria.
You're absolutely right about growth opportunities for LCCs.
But maybe you missed the initial FCoolaid's point (which is usual on these internet conversations): no reason to be laughing about the current situation. And less so to be mocking other long haul airlines' concerns as this is definitely a cross-border issue. It might bite us, too.
But you're right overall. And I do agree that this is all being exagerated.
