I feel like I've seen this movie before.

The legacy carriers have already hired for retirements and the covid travel bubble which is about to burst. If this passes without conditions, expect mass furloughs with 2 years on the street. Many pilots will no longer be needed until retirements pick up again.

But thankfully, A4A is against it because they know most of the affected pilots just want another 2 years of disability payments. I hear a loophole is being carved out that you'll actually have to work to qualify.

But yeah time to write your senators and reps again.

The greed of a certain generation knows no bounds.
