The industry and the economy are in a down turn right now.... This isnt JUST F9, it is industry wide. I would expect legacies to be hit extremely hard.

Stop acting like the sky is falling when the company offers COLAs for 5% of our pilots. There is no LOA for reduced lines and no mention of the F word yet.

Classes are reduced down to 6 for new hires in the May class. Not sure what the expectations are for upgrades.

Expect a merger with spirit or they just disappear. The NMB is cracking down on our negotiations and trying to get stuff down as well to justify their jobs for DOGE.

This could all end in 2 months or 2 years. We are still taking planes and will need pilots for those, and no, you cannot just instantly defer planes that are 4 months out. It takes a lot of contract talks and is also expensive. But our planes are going to be tariffed and have another $20m ontop of their normal 100m cost if everything stays how the big man in the WH wants it.
