I don’t want to sound rude but I’m a bit pleased the system is slowing them down for the worlds sake. There is only so much “growth” the earth will support. Seeing new plane after plane ferrying over there worries me on humanities future.
May you do as recommended above and pursue other avenues as a backup in the mean time to flying. 9-11 saw me doing construction for quite awhile and making more money than flying at the time. I’ve since used the education in that to line of work to take care of my own homes/rentals. As we are about to see flying is a luxury, not required for life. And 20 years later I’d probably be making more in construction still.

For real? 5% (temporary) cut in flying and we are furloughing? Yah def headed that way. Probably a good thing. We are flying around 70% capacity anyway cutting routes left and right. We are operating flights 12 hours late to get completion factor At 99.9% with 0 people on the plane.

A lot of it depends on the state. But essentially you’re paid a percentage of what you made per month.
Have to prove certain things. Show you’re trying to get a job etc etc.
