Look at the graph on this site, if history repeats itself and there is another wave like with the Spanish flu, we are all done for. XJT or not. The first round was just a teaser. https://www.coastalreview.org/2020/0...y-be-deadlier/

lol, if I had a nickle for every time somebody posted that stupid fear mongering Spanish flu graph since March... What that graph doesn't take into account is a century advancement on living conditions, sanitation, and medicine.

While all of that’s true, human behavior doesn’t change. People let their guard down, start putting their fingers in their mouths again etc. With that logic the flu would’ve been eradicated long ago. HIV too, but people just can’t resist banging hookers without a jimmy lol

CARES$ was enough to cover 75% of payroll for the entire company (pilots, FA’s, MX, Admin) May-September not just pilots. With the downgrades taking place there is probably more cash to cover a higher percentage of the whole company through 9/30.
CARES act only stated maintain employment levels through 9/30. There is open interpretation of what that meant. Since the White House is only concerned about unemployment stats, not underemployment stats the Treasury could probably care less if we we’re all downgraded to janitors, as long as we aren’t filing for unemployment.

load factor on a reduced schedule is just about meaningless when it comes to the airlines’ need for pilots. When you have a high load factor on an anorexic schedule, it DOES help the company reduce cash burn.....but they also don’t need very many pilots to make that happen. Dirk is right....TSA throughput gives you all the perspective you need to understand how big the problem is.
Load factor at 100% !! Easy to do with one flight a day operating, that doesn’t keep the lights on however.

ok, here’s my counter. My flights A319/320 have upgraded to 739/753. I flew an added SFO turn. My next couple of flights were originally RJ’s and are now on A320’s booked over 100 each. We have more flights popping into open time. 2 weeks ago we had 15 flights per day in EWR. Now we are knocking 30 a day. SK stated that July will be planned at 25% instead of 10%.
