Yes, we may put Covid behind us in the next 6 to 12 months, but then the next 3 to 5 years bring absolute gridlock as far as prosperity goes due to Climate policies. Why, oh why do people vote for the demise of their own jobs?? I'll never understand it, so don't try to explain it to me. There will be no recalls in the next 3 to 5 years, and if anything, there will only be more pilots furloughed after Covid.

You are too worried about this. They said all the same socialist stuff about Obama in 2008, and whether or not you liked him, the free market continues to reign, terrorists didn't take over the government, and everyone still has their guns. More than ever actually.
Europe has a lot stricter environmental laws and airlines still operate there. China is investing huge in clean energy and is going to be the world leader in a few years. Are there airplanes there? Yeeeeeees....
United itself just invested big-time in a Carbon capture project so seriously, take a breath.
