Who really knows what's going to happen IMO. This is unprecedented, there are runways filled with parked planes. Looking out our own flow board before and I'd say 70% of our planes aren't even online. Maybe we won't survive if this goes on for months, but that will be the least of our problems if the whole economy collapses.

No way to know for sure but if I were in your shoes, I'd apply to every jet cargo airline (prop operators too if I needed an income for than I needed jet SIC). Beat the rush, gonna be a line around the block in a few months.

I just saw a clip of his comment that was posted on the pilot FB page. After hearing that...I’m not sure.
If it’s exactly what we think it is. C5, G7, ZW are going to be with us in the unemployment line.

Thanks very much for the advice. I will definitely look into that. I know it’s a crazy time for everyone right now with so many uncertainties. I am thinking of all the pilots affected across the world. It definitely puts things into perspective how things can change so quick. All the best to you and everyone else.

Iv said all along that this will change the way the airlines operate on a massive level. 50 seat jets have a Roll in small markets that can only handle a single flight a day. Right now the 50 exists for frequency to placate the “business” traveler. Does United need 8 flights a day from DEN-DRO? Put bigger planes and cut to 3 a day morning afternoon and evening. The travelers will have to adapt.
