Not too long ago, I was a single income, first year FO straight out of the military with no savings. I think it's great that some young guys can come on here and say "no concessions" due to their own personal situations, but they shouldn't assume that applies to everyone.
It's also easy to sit on a high perch and look down and say no concessions.
Again, I am for a reasonable, collaborative approach to keeping guys off the street. I would insist on trust measures being installed. Otherwise, I tend to agree with you.
As it stands now, the company just filed a public investor notice stating things are beginning to turn around. The press is all positive, the TSA stats are rising. Vaccine treatments and antibody boosters should hit the street in September if things hold like they are now.
I would say public trust is definitely in the direction of traffic returning with enough gusto to prevent a furlough. All it would take, though, is one more big New York style outbreak and we are back to where we were.
I'm nominating this for Best Post! 👍
