Yeah...except I’m exhausted all the time now due to the optimizer building 3-4 leg days for Group 2 equipment. Ask LAX why their Hawaii trips are going junior. Maybe it’s the extra day, night, and multiple short legs added to what was once an enjoyable 2 or 3-day trip to the islands. I doubt the company would have rushed to implement ACD if it was a bust for them.

We can argue all day about acd but the fact remains that the line values are too damn high. Barely acceptable for senior guys but down right criminal when junior. 76+ is what PBS has to build for the senior 73 guys in LGA. 15 days.

75hr lines for everyone. Pickup time if you want to

"We don't want that flying anyway"

With how junior group III is nowadays no one really has to fly domestic short hops if they don't want to.

There were a lot of senior guys doing domestic S80 trips. Oh the horror, 3 or 4 legs? How will you survive?

Fall is coming and so is a recession. The MAX deferrals were a gift from the aviation gods to Doug.

Treasury bond yields inverted, with 2 year bonds paying more than 10 year bonds. Apparently, in modern history, this usually precedes a recession in the following 1-2 years or so.

I’m no expert, and I’m sure someone else who knows more can chime in.

Extreme market overvaluation, yield curve inversion and the Fed beginning a rate cut campaign has led to a recession and a bear market with very few exceptions.

My investment advisor and the Secretary of Commerce both stated the yield curve inversion is 1/100 of one percent. (Say 2.00% vs. 1.99%). This is hardly the inversions they have seen that leads to recession.

Yet the news media has picked up on this and are screaming recession, recession, recession. Remember blood and guts sells newspapers, as the old adage goes.

The Fed most likely will cut overnight rates when they meet next. This will bring the 2 year rate back down below the 10 year rate. The inversion will go away. The media will have to find something else to scream about.

Your investment advisor is spot on. He failed to mention that all the other duration measures of inversion already crossed and some like the 3 month/10 year are deeply inverted. The 2 year crossed yesterday and was the last to do so. So it reasons that the most recent event should look the least shocking.
