World's smallest violin for those who intentionally subjected themselves to Eastern in this job market.

A baby bird feels it really sucks being pushed out of nest by the mamma bird. In the long run, though…

Yes it does. However every reincarnation of Braniff (4 or 5), Pan Am (3?) and now Eastern (3 or 4?) has failed miserably. Why would anyone think this time is any different?

Good for those furloughed that this is the biggest pilot shortage in the history of our industry. Not the case in the late 80’s - early 90’s it the lost decade.

Former victim of Braniff 2 1989.

Wasn’t Eastern 3.0 a reincarnation of Dynamic ?

You seem like a masochist. Or at least like to watch.

Essentially, or at least an alter ego of a radioactive disaster.

Unemployed pilots are downward pressure on pay and benefits. Nobody benefits when experienced pilots are on the street.

You also need to keep in mind that not everyone has the same lifestyle requirements as others and desires and others. For some, the ACMI world works well, especially if your family is established in a non-hub and you don’t want to commute to short haul flying and crashpad life.

Literally half a dozen ACMIs begging for pilots which aren't poop-holes.
