Seriously. This “get your house in order” crap gets really old. How is someone supposed to prepare for losing a six figure income job exactly? Go ahead and fly a little extra now. How long will that little bit of extra income hold you over for? An extra month tops? Give me a break. Short of selling your house and everything you own there is NOTHING you can do about going from airline pilot income to unemployment.

This is stressful enough as it is on everyone. We can do without the smug “prepare now” comments that usually come from people far outside the furlough danger zone. With that being said..AA is still in a position where furloughing pilots may not happen. An overage of 1300 or so for the next year is not an earth shattering number. Particularly if demand starts to pick up in 2021. A number of companies are talking about a vaccine being ready by January, and that will be a watershed moment.

This should be 90% of APC posts.

i would argue the order for money losing stuff is spouse/plane/boat/house and whatever a Miata is. Is that a snow mobile or...

Have a buddy (non pilot) going through the (ex) wife money drain, she wants child support (completely reasonable), alimony, and pretty much... everything.

Think a Miata is some feminine product.

As for furloughs, I hope none of you get it. I haven't flown since Compass went under and though some time off was nice, I'm ready to go fly. Did have an interview with Atlas, which I thought went well, but got the TBNT. Still applying everywhere I can, but really just looking forward to my AA class date getting set again.

If your buying a miata than your house is definitely not in order.

No company will send letters sooner than the minimum legal/contractual timeline, unless they have an ulterior motive for that.

While this is true, it doesn’t change my point. As of now, we don’t know if there are furloughs or not. In other words, furloughs are in fact not here.

In other news... I’m selling my brand new 2020 Miata, color is Mangenta. Fully loaded. Make me an offer, I need to get my house in order

Real solid post!
