And his golden boy J.D. is going to finish off whatever’s left of those 2000+ careers and collect his nice fat retention bonus and cut of 66 million.

Atleast in 5 years I'll maybe be able to apply to many other companies etc. Or be a really over qualified (or under?? ) checkout assistant at the local grocery store. �
They've changed the application process significantly since a lot of us came here. Also there's some upheaval going on in training and likely HR soon. So I guess we can't really say much about your application status, like if hidden means your application is locked like what UPS does or not. If you need a job fast, and you're basically shotgunning applications out to see what you can get I get it. Good luck with everything, and if we can help you out somehow, let us know.

If you live in STL, CVG is driveable. That will save you some travel-days every month.

Default Let the speculating begin

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/impli...142402598.html
Investors in Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. AAWW need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the May 15, 2020 $22.50 Put had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.

What is Implied Volatility?


Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off.However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.

Considering Flynn just sold 5,000 shares at a very low price I doubt it’s going to be a rally.

Option sellers are imputing a high implied vol into anything aviation related right now. Its a way of hedging themselves against large moves in an equity, and the general backdrop of commerce will bring large moves. On top of the global backdrop, it's clear Flynn has no sensitivity to his equity investors, which shows that he's an equal opportunity scumbag. Hell of a time to leave the company hanging, but if you gotta go you might as well crap on labor and investors equally.

Most (all) of the Execs have an established program that sells on a regular basis. Don’t forget that part of their compensation is stock. If you were paid partially in AAWW stock wouldn’t you be getting rid of it on a regular basis? I sure would.

No. If I had faith in the company and that a measure of my performance would be an increase in the equity price, I absolutely would not. I have friends who run companies and they live off their salaries, not their equity. If you are adding value to the company, then you can hold your equity until the market (Mr Market) realizes that value with a very high stock price. You wouldn't sell if you had solidarity.
