You must be new at DAL. It will be in ATL if it ever comes to pass (which hopefully it will not)

Bring on more pandas. Better airplane.

The Boeing mafia is located in ATL.

Change my mind.

Beers are still on me because the 30 hour thing even passed in the first place. Doubly so for the 9-11 furloughs.

Now how do I buy my pro rata share of beers for the American taxpayer....?

So tell me, how better off are we know than 2 years ago? 3 years ago? 5? Will we recover like the last decade? I don't think so. This is our new normal until the sheep decide enough is enough.

I'm at the layover. It's a resort. It's dead. Dead.

The 32+ cruise ships we flew over at anchor have been there since April 2020. Skeleton crews on them to keep the systems functional. How many more around the globe?

Add in the new regime and there goes the economy.

Just print trillions, yeah it'll get better.

We are a long way off. As a country We mucked this response up hugely and we will pay the price for decades.

If it wasn't for 1806 taking the VEOP we'd be furloughing. Not out of this yet. Last report I saw we are still burning 10+ million a day

Sorry for the deraill. Botylenose started it

Probably DFW and BOS. It'll be the new "fagship" so it can only be used on the longest routes with 1 landing every 16 flight hours so A's will make 1M and B's 500K doing the LCA/GS pump and dump. True story.

Serious question... when should I expect things to actually get bad for me and my family? The last year has been the best income and the best quality of life I’ve ever had. Most of my airline peers have had at least one of those too, if not both. My early-retired buddy is having the time of his life. Almost all of my high-earning friends have had banner years, and they’re about ready to have spending sprees on travel for themselves, their families and on behalf of their employers.

Granted, there is some business uncertainty in our industry but it seems the pending seniority rise will lift a lot of boats, and other than some stuck-in-NYC corner cases, most of us will probably fare pretty well over the next couple of years.

I’m all for doom and gloom...I just have a hard time finding it. Maybe I’m in a bubble.

So only male flight attendants will be allowed to crew it?? I’m confused..
