We just went through the greatest flying downturn of our careers, and how many saw furloughs or displacements? What major was allowed to go under? Delta will be retiring 5000 people by the end of the decade.
And if it WERE as bad as you are saying, yeah, it would be just as bad at JB.
We all get it- if you are a JB CA you are probably here until retirement, but no one can honestly contend that a third year JB at LAX wouldn’t be economically better off jumping over to Delta and upgrading in a couple years instead of waiting to upgrade at JB. That’s just insane.
