Well we were seconds away from furloughing 350 a few short months ago until the union stepped beyond flight ops. It appears as though flight ops is distressed again and planning on furloughing. Pretty disappointing

Honestly, looking at the passenger numbers it’s been no surprise! The day TSA touted the “first day to reach 1,000,000 passengers” the daily numbers have been decreasing yet again. If Biden wins this will get even worse since he will implement some kind of lockdown yet again, I’m sure, and that will be a massive blow to airlines and the economy at large at a scale we haven’t even seen yet🤦‍♀️
A new ‘Bailout’ may help some but it won’t avoid the obvious, imo...

There won’t be a political need for a bailout until just before the midterms, and even if there was, the ‘woke’ crowd can virtue-signal by restricting the PSP to people making $100K a year or less. They are for the ‘common crowd,’ not the ‘fat cats...’

Looks like Biden's gonna win, but even then, he won't be able to affect policy until February essentially. By then, the vaccine will be in the process of being "deployed".

What is best in life?

Too crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

​​​​I love hearing your lamentations. They're the best lamentations. Huge lamentations.

They need to stop blocking seats, it’s impossible to make money doing this.

That hasn’t been what I’m seeing on the line.

What changed? They seemed pretty confident at the q3 call that things were on track.
