It's like the Kentucky legislation outlawing chemtrails.

Never underestimate the power of paranoia.

There was a guy who left AA for FedEx a few years ago to much clutching of pearls. Relatively senior guy (8+ years?) and hired fairly young. Didn’t know him personally but he seemed fairly active with the union and had a good reputation. Turns out his timing was pretty terrible… I doubt he’d ever admit to making a “mistake” but it would be interesting to get his thoughts.

That said, I imagine he’s gonna end up just fine. Things will normalize on a long enough timeline in this bizarre, cyclical industry. You’ll just give yourself an ulcer constantly second guessing things and falling prey to all the schadenfreude and greener grass mentality that plagues these forums.

People keep acting like junior 777 FOs will block against a furlough, but if you’ve tracked the progress of 23-01 at all, many of the junior WB FOs are getting pushed down into the 757. Now they are reducing the 757 fleet rapidly. I’m sure the bidpacks will get thinner and thinner for more bodies in the seat. BLGs lower, SAM lower…

Consider the remaining 767 options gone. Once we turned down the initial 8 Boeing has the right to terminate the other 18 options, which they will. Another UPS win.


4a2b then c. Then a measly amendment period penalty payment just pays you back for the money you lost due their over hiring and subsequent 54 hour BLGs. They’re allowed to royally screw up and we pay for it.

And in Kentucky, State Representative Steve Rawlings introduced HB 506, which would ban “any form of geoengineering activities,” including “intentional manipulation of the environment, through an atmospheric polluting activity, to effect changes to the earth’s atmosphere or surface.”

Wasn’t there a theory this week that cloud seeding run amok is what caused the massive flooding in Dubai? Is that different? I don’t keep up too much with the chemtrail world.

Wrong. Same wrong rumor. 76's still coming. MD's still going. If anything, the Airbus would be next.
