Also to add to all of you arguing the 4th stripe on the blazer. The company put out a memo stating that they did not have to remove the blazsr stripe but the hat and epaulets should match you position. If and when we see downgrads we can all follow the companies position via memo at that time.
It's sad how some of you act in here, but to each his own. I'll be a downgraded Captain more than likely with my LCP letter collecting dust. I will be there doing my job as an FO.

Looks like demand is slowly coming back. Hopefully Delta doesn’t screw this up. Flights have been full. Based on my machine of knowledge and quick napkin math, we should hit 500k by June 20th. If we hit 70% of last years numbers by September I think we’ll be okay.
