Instead of this, let's engage in wild, irresponsible, completely uninformed speculation about the future of the UAX carriers!
UA said nothing really about UAX in their town hall today, but they were beating the "get ready for furloughs" drum hard. I really thought SK was gonna cry which...well it's doesn't inspire confidence.
Personally, I don't see how they permanently cut UAX in favor of mainline medium term. It's down gauging in a time of low demand, and it's cheaper labor. Why am I wrong?

it would sting for a min, we would have to go work at Walmart or drive a fed ex truck for awhile but in the long run it will be more mainline jobs for us all .

I’m embarrassed there are people this ignorant flying professionally at my airline. They’re living in America, paying American taxes, supporting the American economy. You want to prevent hiring in the future? Sure. But demanding revoking their green cards now? you’re just wanting to take away jobs from people solely because they were born somewhere else because you didn’t prepare for a downturn. Don’t pretend it’s anything about “American jobs”.

Nobody was talking about revoking green cards. The conversation was about "short term" visa's like H1B.
It was also pointed out that pilots in the USA on this type of Visa would be a few hundred at most. Not exactly a flood.
I pointed out that there are thousands of Americans working abroad on similar visa's in countries that may not need them now either.

Who else is not ready to see where the re alignment bid puts themselves at end of day tomorrow. There’s going to be a lot of pilots in two bases. I was expecting the company to maybe put out a program in place like others have where it knocks min guarantee down to like 30 or 45 hours and you have them month off.
