You have GOT to be kidding.

1) No. No no no. Zero.

2) You want people to post on this board what they'd be willing to give up?

I can't decide which part of this is the most stupid. Double facepalm (followed by Purell).

ZERO... Have you not learned from decades of management behavior that givebacks hurt the entire industry??

Hey man I’m just trying to see where we are as group cause I know they’re coming after whatever they can get. I’ve been around for 20 years. I just Hope most realize how bad this is gonna be. Mgmt is ruthless and will use whatever scare tactics they find.

Since you’ve been around 20 years, please provide some examples of airlines that avoided bankruptcy and/or closure, thanks to pay concessions from pilots.

Sun Country did...very small airline, but everyone took 50% for a year. They made it, sadly sounds like dire straights there again right now.

It doesn’t work. I’m just making sure everyone is on the same page when they come after us for concessions. In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a ton of people that seem to scare easily. I’m fully aware of acceptance of concessions and bankruptcy to throw out the contract

Well, that'll just about cover the fly-by's.

Any math wizards know with the available cash on hand plus the credit how long B6 can operate. Assuming no furloughs, etc
