Doggiepoo is a big internet tough guy, his tombstone will read “here lies a jerkoff who was very active on internet message boards for 4 months on 2020.” If you presented your argument with better tact, you might actually help guys through this, but like so many in this business, you got hosed and now wish it on the next generation. Hope you make some dough shorting AA stock you prick.

Only other dude I can think of who’s such an angry troll is Route66. Sometimes I wonder if these two are one and the same.

Am I the only one who sees Doggie Poo yelling at clouds and just completely skips his posts? I would find the ignore button but even that would be more effort than he deserves.

Just flew through Charlotte to Vegas. Full airport full airplanes.

Any idea on how Americans daily cash burn is doing right now? Daily pax flown? That sort of thing. Looked like they were doing pretty well to me.

Your CEO is already looking for a way out of the financial mess and Wall Street has already asked him his plan and if that plan is bankruptcy. 30% is a good number to start with just like every other major. When the sale and bankruptcy come it's a staple if you are lucky. Probably not because AA mainline is not ALPA. Your regionals being ALPA are meaningless. The word is out about you young guys and the big freight companies will not take you on the rebound. Good luck, October 1 is. about 90 days away.

Good lord that is a lot of words. My favorite has to be the freight companies have heard about you young guys and won’t pick you up. You are right everyone hates flying with people who are happy to be at there. They much prefer the guy who complains for four days about everything in their life. Nothing makes a trip more fun. On a serious note that much anger is seriously bad for you. I also have been lucky to have a great experience with the TWA pilots I have flown with.

The “furloughs don’t make sense until 18 months” assumes you can make payroll and that you know demand will return. Neither applies here.

there may or may not be furloughs, but if cash is tight today, mgmt will figure out tomorrow tomorrow

And look at all those nonrevs like me! I haven't had a haircut since I stopped flying and took a leave. Terrible fuc... err people out there.

TSA numbers

AA is in debt because they bought new airplanes.

You guys are getting trolled by someone’s sock puppet account. Lots of those popping up since February. Perhaps a little more moderation and a little less pontification on every subject/topic on this site, eh RickAir777?

I like his response. I don't agree with it but it was interesting to read. It is a little overdone, like a caricature of a grumpy old guy, but whatever.

"You young kids"
"After 40 years in this industry"
"Get off my lawn" etc etc
