Yes, they would want deep cuts but pretty much the opposite of this LOA. Instead, they would desire very high LPAs (to enable maximum furloughs) combined with huge cuts to pay and work rules.
This LOA is designed to retain pilots for a rebound, not minimize labor expenses for an airline shrinking in BK.
That’s correct. Which is another reason this LOA is unlikely to affect any potential BK outcome. Unfortunately no one can know for certain what would happen. Hopefully we’ll never have to find out.
That video certainly did not make me feel very good, however.
