April/May the passenger numbers were a low as 5-10% of normal.
Last couple months they have been around 25-35%
The problem is twofold:
1. Numbers are holding steady/increasing very slowly
2. Business travel is down 90% so revenue is way down
massive furloughs are inevitable if this continues.

Hope you found a good career somewhere else, but holding on this bitterness? What's the point? Best wishes to you and your family despite your hostility.

Right, that's why you're on the AA forum posting this crap?

Unlike him, I wish him, his fellow employees, and Frontier success going forward. For whatever reason, he wishes the opposite on a group of employees at an airline he viewed (probably rightly so) as arrogant TWENTY FIVE years ago. Regardless that most who were pilots at AA twenty five years ago are now long gone, I guess he still wishes ill will on our group and our airline.

that’s the situation

Using that metaphor, every airline is underwater, just A matter of what depth they are at .

but the key point is that “it’s getting better” doesn’t mean bad things won’t happen

I wish you guys the best. I was in the us air ecosystem with republic and the post merger AA world with PSA. Hard to see such bad times affecting so many people I care about.
