For this bid all that might matter for mgnt is that the conversions happen before 1 October. At which point they can furlough after taking Govt money and after converting everyone to a lower category. We’re already inside that window.

It’s a major roll the dice scenario. Keep everyone on the payroll for the spike recovery to grab market share? Furlough 30-40% to get costs under control? Guess wrong on either of those and that is a scenario where a major may cease to exist.

Seems like company has been awfully quiet lately about upcoming AE, SILs, early outs, fleet plan..... actually about anything the pilot group might care about. Guess they never heard that bad news does not age like wine. I think it’s going to be ugly. Bloodbath. Multiple category closures. Wherever you put pilots, it’s already over staffed, so what kind of decent plan can they really come up with? Network will change direction tomorrow and screw it all up anyway.
and pilot gives to the company? Well I suspect I’m about to give them a $100k pay cut on the next AE as I go from M88A to 737B. I’d say that’s a pretty big give. Guess I could bid A in NYC, but no.
