Of course you're correct, the company is on the ropes. But is it that bad right now? CARES 1 and maybe 2 soon? Yet we're rushing to help. They still have a LOT of money. Our burn is down significantly. Some Airlines are selling planes and then leasing them back at loan shark rates. Is UA one of them? Are they are willing to pay someone else and also take more from us? I know what I think. That's all I'm saying. And we already gave them a lot. I used to get 85 hours per month. Now? My buddy used to be a 777 FO, now? GUYS WILL STILL GET WHACKED if SK wants to. I'm sick of bailing them out, so I remain skeptronic.

Hack the clock. Light a smoke.
