Things went overnight from "there's been no better time to be a pilot" to "there's been no worse time to be a pilot". The industry and economy are both tanking. And it sounds like there's no relief in sight for several months. The airlines are about to take a blow like never before. Even if the virus gets worked out within a couple of months, the travel demand is going to take a long time to bounce back after the drastic economic hit the world is taking. You guys need to recalibrate your concerns and expectations. Instead of worrying about the Compass planes and when will the flow start back up, start worrying about keeping your jobs and dealing with enormous career stagnations at best. Good luck to us all.
