Looks like CARES money is confirmed through the most recent Union Q&A. Good news in the meantime.

Bandaid on a bullet wound bro .
That might stop the bleeding a little. Like the email said , that money is only for payroll and payroll related expenses. For everything thing else they have to burn through cash on hand to make ends meet . That won’t last long . Come sept or oct it’s not gonna be pretty .
Take the free money for 30 hrs and work on a plan b in case you don’t have one . Something to tide you over fo 6 mo to a year .

Never said it solves all the problems. It does give time for the industry to recover at least somewhat. Way better than getting nothing and everyone getting furloughed immediately.

I would make more money on unemployment than I make at Air Wisconsin

Until July 31st, sure. After that you're making pennies compared to even FO pay. Especially if you are MKE based

This is true, at least for June and July.

At least we are back to 75 hours come June

maybe for May and June with the 50 hrs LOA

After that is over , no way

I was talking about with the 30 hour loa during June and July with the $600 weekly bonus

So here’s a question...how much flying can someone on reserve really expect in ORD given the current scenario? I was an IAD lineholder and pretty bottom of the totem pole (about 50 from the bottom) and trying to figure out if I need a crashpad or hotel and logistics.
