I’d also be the first to take an early out to let you have your piece of the pie. 30 years as a commercial pilot is starting to lose it’s charm.

I think Spirit and some of the other domestic carriers can take advantage on the other side of this virus while the Big 3 retreat. That can’t happen if you have 10%-20% of your pilots on the street and there’s probably about a two year window for that.
