What does being on pilot career forums have anything to do with crying wolf? I’m far from an expert but I do have much deeper insights than the average pilot.

So now you’re lashing out a calling me a, “forum rat”

Have a good day Feta.

I agree, you do have much greater insights. You can see over the horizon. Thanks.

the network carriers only real niche is small market service. AA can aggregate people from oaj, ewn, tri, gso, roa, cho, gnv, hsv, bfe bring them all to Charlotte and then shoot them back out to other small towns or off to the big city. Two carriers isn’t great but it will work. Medium and large markets are well served by the various extant and rising non-network carriers and international carriers

I’m not predicting a chapter 7, but I don’t see a fundamental reason it couldn’t happen.

It is called an oligarchy.

Well except that after a recovery there is no way the slack could be picked up. Sure right now all bets are off but long term not gonna happen I don’t think.

Please..tell us more. How big is this sample size of pilots for you to make such grand statements? The handful of PSA pilots you fly with and drink bud light on overnights with? I hate to break it to you, but most pilots at AA and other majors are not the “aeronautical science” from xyz aviation university types. Even at the regionals they aren’t all cut from that cloth. I know they weren’t at Eagle/Envoy when I was there. You need to take five steps back if you think you are on some enlightened high horse peering down on all the rest of us peons.

The rest of the airline industry could EASILY pick up the slack. The valuable hubs would get redistributed to the survivors, the regional carriers would get new decals, the remaining two majors would tap dance on number three’s grave as their volume exploded. The whole industry would scoop up airframes from the US and abroad to capitalize on the opportunity

Uh huh and how would they train the pilots required for this major expansion in any reasonable time frame while accounting for retirements? Also this assumes the other two would survive.
