In the mean time don’t lower your guard, continue to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Stay strong and stay healthy!

Although I appreciate any good news, this is horse S. When compared to Alaska’s and the industries modeling, we are only consistently missing markers to this point, trending bellow those low expectations. In my mind it’s the same as putting out a pod cast saying, “company only sees this as short term” and “there has been no mention of furloughs”, when every union leader has been briefed by both their and company experts, that this industry will be 20-25% smaller in 2021, when compared to 2019. Do you really think WB would have sold his entire stake at or near the bottom if this was going to recover quickly? You don’t think with him owning 10% of the entire industry, he wouldn’t have had some industry experts, like really goods ones, pouring over the numbers. You don’t think Boeing, Airbus, DAL, SWA, UAL CEO’s would have said 3-5 years if it were not the expected outcome? Pilots are not children, they can handle the truth, whether we want it to be true or not. The recent green shoots in our industry represent the possibility of solvency, not the possibility that we and others don’t shrink significantly.
