Losing so much flying and parking aircraft everywhere ones gotta think the music has stopped and we are just waiting for the ship to break in two.

The airlines don’t know how long this will last, they want to maintain the ability to ramp up on the spring back which will probably be sometime this summer if historical black swans are any indicator. That being said why waste a perfectly good crisis? Get some concessions from the pilot groups while you can.
If this is your first economic downturn as an airline pilot, welcome to the suck. This too will pass.

History never completely informs current situations, or the future, but like all forms of information, it should not be dismissed.

We can always learn from history. The CDC director is saying this virus may slow down over the summer but fall/winter months it will be back for another wave. If there is no vaccine by then, he said to expect more social distancing / lock down orders. I get it, but I have no idea how the entire world's economy is supposed to function if businesses are shutting down after just a few weeks of this.
