Timing is everything in the industry. It’s also mostly blind luck.
Most of those guys fought through a lot of rough times at EGL on to get to AA and suddenly find even harder times.
Yeah, tell me about it. I'm one of them. Stagnated through the original AA bankruptcy, US Airways merger, numerous contract wars, watching as Parker and Kirby began to dismantle Eagle before our very eyes, etc. Now this. At least the Cares act looks like it'll get extended. I've been in close contact with APA's Government Affairs Committee and they are extremely positive that it'll pass. 99% done were the exact words used. That'll help all of us for now, and hopefully a vaccine and new political landscape will have changed things for the better by next Spring.
