We don’t even have a number to discuss yet.

BTW, was Rayjay blocked? It was kinda fun reading his fake posts.

Just my sense though. It ultimately numbers. If the union goes this direction, they’ll have to publish some real data.

I think this bid will have to be walked back, they just want to try and get concessions before they do.

This is going to sound crazy, I know. But what if, hypothetically speaking, rather than an across the board ALV/TLV cut, the company would off these lines that were below the ALV. Maybe we'd just call them incentivized special lines or something like that. Or maybe, stick with me here, a paid LOA for people to go away for 6/12/18/24 months with say, a few month call back obligation.

If the virus weakens and we get a quick vaccine and treatments it could be very short lived.
If we get a nasty second wave or the first wave really never ends airlines may be in big trouble. The media with their sensationalistic reporting are not helping. How the public perceives COVID is probably just as important as the reality of COVID.
