All while taking a large pay hit for training pay and small hit for first year pay. I feel helpless as I know it’s a question of not if, but when furloughs come.
You have a lot on your plate....try and stay positive. I’ve been in your shoes. It’s day to day and it’s stressful. Let’s hope this blows over in a few months and Delta doesn’t need to furlough. As others have said there will be LOA’s, SILs, reduced ALVs and retirements. Although the Big D may go through some shrinkage they may not have to furlough if this does not remain prolonged. Nobody really knows the duration or economic impact going forward for our careers at this point. Yes it is frustrating, but control what you can. So enjoy your family and health and hope for the best.
