Look, I really don't care about getting into one of those 'My company is better than yours!' urinating matches. If people are happy where they are, no matter the company, then that's the most important thing. I only comment on this stuff when false information is being spread. We have taken no pay cuts. We've furloughed no one in the US. None of our fleet has been parked and mothballed. And yes, we do lose some clients to competitors, but also see a fair number of boomerang clients (they come back after leaving) as well as simply getting new clients from competitors. For obvious reasons are new aircraft deliveries have been reduced this year, but we're still taking a fair amount of them. And no, we didn't take a penny of taxpayer money to make it all work. This isn't bragging, just putting the facts out there on what's going on.
Deep breaths everyone. Things are picking up and barring any unforeseen bumps in the road we're all going to be okay. Be happy we're not in the bottom 5000 of any airline seniority list. It could be worse for us.

You’re off by about 50-80% on your airline seniority list number, but it will be ugliest at carriers with considerable international exposure while ultra high end private travel and budget carriers will be somewhat sheltered due to the nature of their products and or clientele.

the other fractional yes they didn’t change but you also make 20-30% less if you’re not flying

Just a guess but I believe this guy may have been referring to the extra pay over the 12.1 block hours.

If you're called out on a trip for 10 days, you're automatically paid for 15 days, plus overtime, bonuses, and incentives.
