Same. I don't want to be pessimistic, just realistic.
Email from the CEO about CARES running out and furlough speak, then an email saying 5000 pilots.
I'm going to the sims for the first time in my career to bang out landings. I thought if I were to ever do that, I'd be a golf playing long haul reserve FO, instead it's because there's so little flying that I can't even get a flight assigned to me.
At this point I'm still in the "I'm getting furloughed in May" club, and I've been doing what I can to prepare for that. The idea that we're going to be hiring in Q1 at this point is absurd to me.
