The funds are there, with this additional unemployment stimulus from federal of $600/week on top of state funds, some people are actually making more than they did at their normal job. In one of my businesses which is mandated closed, my employees don’t want to come back to work because they are making more money sitting at home. It’s bonkers. The illegals and people who worked off the books or for cash tips and didn’t claim tips as income are being hit the hardest for sure.

It's probably a healthy combination of all factors. Right now people have no where to go anyway, everything is still closed, Disney, theme parks etc. The real indicator will be when those places open, does passenger throughput greatly increase.

So, you think that these people sitting at home and collecting more money than they made while working are going to spend it on vacations and other unnecessary travel? To be clear, I'm ok with that since my company will benefit from it. I'm just thinking more long term than you, I guess.

If demand stays where it's at, down 90%, there will be bankruptcies and all bets are off. The next few years could be like something we've never seen before. Time to sharpen those second set of skills. People are petrified to get locked in an aluminum germ tube for hours on end.

Passenger count is down 90% but so are the number of flights, unless more flights are added passenger count doesn’t have a lot more upward movement. It’s not really possible to get more passengers right now with the limited number of flights. Now United has to figure out how to add flights last minute(45 days)and sell them

They were there, they are not there now. The June schedules are already published with significantly reduced flying. For April and may they had relatively full schedules then cut them as they needed to. June was published and sent out to regionals withe the flying already cut, now they need to somehow add it back cause they cut it to early

This hurts us all but dang what dont you guys understand. This is a privately owned business. They don’t have to show us anything or explain anything to us ever. They are in business for one thing only. To make money. Not to pander to us pilots. If they are not in business and making money why would they do it. Sorry it just amazes me pilots think they have a right to information.

As a furloughed pilot trainee, I will make more money on unemployment because of the $600 override. If I can ever get my claim approved, which has recently been denied. I've called 150+ times today and haven't been able to speak to a person though.
