A lot of my friends, family and neighbors have jobs that require extensive travel. Not one thinks their company will authorize travel any time this year. (Read no frequent fliers, no international) .

Even when they are allowed, most are not sure when they will actually start flying again.

Compound that with a resurgence of the virus, the rest of the world locking out Americans, trade war, upcoming election, and god knows what else this crappy year is going to throw at us, I just don't get how anyone can pretend this is going back to 100% any time soon.

Luckily United is planning for next summer when things might get better.

I hope I am wrong, but as I said months ago, I still think this place will have 10000 pilots next year.

Hopefully, the furloughs will be mitigated by thousands taking paid leave. I know I will take one.
