And he did just that. And was furloughed shortly thereafter for quite a while.

He’s changed his tune. He told us we would hire around 1K/year, but not indefinitely because around 2020 or so, there would be an unbelievable overreaction to a pandemic and that the government would shut down the economy to save some septuagenarians from dying a year early. Everyone murmured in agreement because let’s face it, if you didn’t see this turn of events coming you are oblivious to the most basic principles of professional aviation.
Seriously though, he wasn’t lying when he gave you those numbers. And to imply that you knew better in anything other than “nothing lasts forever” terms is as believable as Kim Jong Un’s golf handicap.
