#HereWeSlow
 

AA is now canceling/suspending classes. If the company follows suit with the rest of the industry, we’ll be lucky to see classes mid-summer. That said, every month classes are postponed adds precious time to your flow date and is actually costing you tremendous amounts of money in the short term (time-value of money invested) and also in the long-term due to earnings potential at the end of your career relative to the age 65 retirement age.

Hiring will resume someday.* AA retirements can offset some of the cuts to the system in the short term.


*AA is in dire financial trouble and lacks the liquidity to financially weather this storm if it lasts more than a handful of months. Bankruptcy is already being floated by financial analysts. United’s net bookings are down 70% for April alone; if this holds true for AA, grab the popcorn and possibly an updated resume.

To all the lazy captains out there (most of you) who don’t have your apps out because “I’m just gonna wait until I flow,” I hope this is a wake up call to apply and update your apps often.

Shhh... you don't want more competition. Let them figure it out on their own.

On the flip side. Anyone who left outside the flow in the previous year is looking at potential furlough. I feel extremely lucky to be senior at PSA and not on the bottom of the list somewhere else. I don’t think having a number is worth being on the street. It’s all about timing.

This times x100.

Why? He'll still be senior to you. Get a job bartending in the meantime.

Dancing pays more as long as you don’t object to being objectified and treated like a piece of meat. Come to think of it, probably still get more respect that way.

give up 125k and 17 days off a month to bar tend? Thanks for the advice Dave Ramsey.

For a year or two of seniority at mainline?

You're not giving up 125k, you're giving up the difference. I see math is not your strong suit.

That's probably true, hence why he/she is at Envoy and dependent on a flow since he/she probably doesn't have a degree. #triggered
