My bet is eventually two, if not all three, WO will be combined into one airline. Reduces overhead costs.
I know some say each has a separate certificate, so it can’t happen. Matter of time to get everything under one company. i know some say they want three to whipsaw against each other. In the current environment, in the next few years, there is not much whipsawing to go around. |

How is it that we have 3 regionals dead in the water, Every major and LCC forloughing and somehow the highest paid Endevour gets to sing along and start new hire training again?
We were having a hard time filling classes recently, so we were understaffed for the flying that was coming pre-COVID. The word last winter was to expect a summer of credit pushes. Compass and GoJet were on their ways out with Delta already. Delta axed their flying early, which meant there was less pain to spread. OO went west. We're filling the gaps in ATL, DTW, and (to a lesser extent) MSP. We're the cheapest DCI carrier left. Our pilot pay is higher, but we don't have the overhead that other airlines do. We use a lot of Delta infrastructure, which doesn't cost Delta much more. In conclusion? Still extremely lucky. |

Unfortunaley, probably around 30-40% of the people who just got their furlough notices are guys that “came over”.
Timing is everything in the industry. It’s also mostly blind luck. Most of those guys fought through a lot of rough times at EGL on to get to AA and suddenly find even harder times. |
Combining WO
Check in with me in a few years. We will see what happens. May you live in interesting times, as the proverb says.

At least the Cares act looks like it'll get extended. I've been in close contact with APA's Government Affairs Committee and they are extremely positive that it'll pass. 99% done were the exact words used. That'll help all of us for now, and hopefully a vaccine and new political landscape will have changed things for the better by next Spring.
Here’s hoping CARES 2.0 comes to the rescue. |
It's too bad the discussion is about flowing back AA guys and not flowing back our own former eagle flows. I'm way more open to taking a seniority hit for those dudes, but I really don't want to see (or bid against) F-15 punks who have probably never paid their dues, and never will.
