They call it unprecedented for a reason.

I am referring specifically to XJT and I am going on the record saying that we will have no need to furlough. I could not care less who agrees with me. If I had the outlook any of you have the only reasonable course of action would be to find a new career. Those who look to the horizon and can’t feel optimistic about the future are a group of people I will NEVER relate to. Maintaining a positive attitude and focusing on things within your control, including a contingency plan for worst case scenarios, is the way I choose to live my life.

Too many think that when things are good they will never be bad again and that when things are bad they will never get better.

The curve will be peaking within the next 4-6 weeks, we will be on the backside of it within 9-12 weeks, and the economy will begin recovering. Keep in mind that I have said that the demand for flying could then be reduced by 1/3 and XJT would not need to furlough. If this outlook is not realistic then what reality do you live in?
