Do you honestly believe this?

926 million people flew commercial in the US in 2019. 4.3 billion world wide. That’s like saying people are going to stop eating.

Will we shrink? Probably. Will we grow right back to current levels within a year or three? Yes.

Good. I was thinking people had lost their GD minds around here.

I dunno man, if you get displaced to the 737 I might start worrying about YOUR mental state.

Why not? We started flying 319s into EYW before this whole mess started. It's about the tiniest @$$ place I can think of.

Now if your comment is based on cost/revenue decisions alone, that's different.... But there are plenty of tiny @$$ places served by an RJ once/twice a day

you must have taken my tiny a$$ place as meaning tiny a$$ runway, which is not what I meant...I am talking about places more like KSPS....I know there are places served once or twice a day by RJs, thats my point!! You can't just park all the RJs like Ready2board suggested.

What’s everyone’s guesses on secondary displacements, specifically got group 2 captains? I was thinking there wouldn’t be any when it was just the 76 getting parked. But now with the 76,190 and 330s I’m guessing it’s inevitable.

I really don’t want to go to training again, especially in July.

I'm a pretty junior CA (a quick check of 3XP shows about 500 senior to me to be displaced), so I sort of assume I'll be bumped on the August bid. Guess it depends on whether people are willing to commute to keep their extra stripe (or add one).
