I guess to each their own. Just like pax airlines all cargo isn’t created equal. I bet if flying cargo kept a bunch of pilots on property at UAL the line would be out the door.
eyuuuup. Just last week you were mouthing off about how last year you just knew the economy was going tank, taking the airlines with it. Apparently the virus somehow proved your “thesis.” What you may not realize is that the major airlines were smoking FedEx’s AS$ in profits as well as outlook. The difference is that if the cargo carriers suddenly fell on difficult times due to a completely unforeseen reason, no one from 121 land would be mouthing off about how they made the wrong choice and they had to live with it.
Do you know this D-bag has already said he hopes any current 121 furloughees go to the bottom of the interview stack at Purple and behind people that “really wanted to work there in the first place?” The term slam click has this idiots name next to it in the dictionary. Your third wife must be very proud of you.
