Yes, this is the same new guy who posts incessantly on the other website. I think he claims to be a lawyer

The only thing that is for sure is no one knows exactly how the economy will look in October.

Did you let him know you think he posts too much on the other site also? Or only on here behind a screen name? Not sure if they are the same person but I’ve flown with said person, he really is a lawyer
and he’s a good dude. I think he’s brought up a lot of good points and dialogue.

All 3 Delta, American, and United CEOs have already gone on record and stated that they fully expect to come out of this ordeal as a "smaller, leaner" carrier. International is going take an absolute beating and will come out smaller and much slowly compared to the domestic network. In that sense, the big 3 are hurt worse than SWA/ALK/LCCs.

I predict that between 0-100,000 pilots will be furloughed for the next 0-800 months.

If you need more super accurate information from me, you can meet me downstairs in 10 minutes. I’ll have my jean shorts and white new balance kicks on. Or call me on my cell. The one on my belt clip.

OTZeagle has made his true character known to all of us this week. He has taken a moment of extreme stress and anxiety to pile on with worthless predictions that will only hurt others. We should treat him as such.

Some of our LEC leaders I have real issues with. Our MEC on the other hand are of the finest individuals I have ever met! They will do everything they can to mitigate a furlough. They are super guys, super positive, but the bottom 300 need honesty, and transparency. I have been through this before. You don’t hold guys captive though, waiting on a unicorn. People need to know. Guys that were proactive early last time did really well, those that got caught flatfooted had a real tough time. The models are out there. September Alaska should be flying 75-80 percent of the fleet with 59-65% load factors. The furlough will save the company 85 million a year, they are going to do it. People need to know, people need to be ready. I thought early on we might find the land of unicorns but as this has progressed it looks only way less likely. The numbers are so good you could bet them in Vegas. Sorry for caring, sorry for trying to help. Maybe you are better of holding your breath and making a wish.

And, Alaska I will take no concessions. You wasted billions on share buy backs, I am not your piggy bank!

I predict your life will be a disaster because you are void of any common sense or coherent reasoning.
