So, now that we have established you're wrong, your whole PollyAnna view point is wrong too. Not sure what color the sky is in your world, but this stupid virus scare has us and all other airlines operating at less than 10%. With future bookings not looking good either. So, what are we left with. Your view: United will just keep a ton of staff they don't need because in 3 years bookings looked good pre-virus. OR, we can use logic and reality to know that the top brass will chop what ever they need to because furlough section of the UPA affords them that luxury. Keep hoping, see where it gets you.
And just to be clear since you think putting words in people's mouths is a good idea, NEVER VOTE YES FOR PAY CUTS! EVER!!
I'm not saying you are actually going around encouraging people to take concessions, when the mongers keep throwing 4000 around like I've been hearing on the line it instills fear and people start to think it's a possibility. Put pen to paper on a calendar for the next 3-4 years, see what it looks like to cut that deep, look at how long it takes the 4000th guy to hit the street, keep him there for 12-18 months, then bring him back, all while losing 40 a month to retirements.
