I get it man. Emotions are running high...for all of us. If you asked me 2 weeks ago, I was certain we’d be looking at a furlough in the not too distant future; however, today I don’t believe a furlough is going to happen here for a number of reasons. We, as a company, just need to tighten up, and I believe we’ll be alright.

concessions? Did you read section 23 bub?

So yeah they are stepping over dollars to pick up pennies. They are not doing EVERYTHING they can to save money. It also says something about it not being limited to whatever section 23 is.

So maybe stop the individual greed. 0 hours/50 hours/75 hours. Open time is blocked or not blocked but everyone is capped at 75 hours. No VDA no Prem. 35 hours part time lines.

So either our cash flow problem hasn’t been that dire or maybe we all should expect to be on the street.
You seem worried. I don't think, if it's needed, that these were the last solutions or the last LOA.

PLEASE REMAIN CALM.

If anyone is picking up extra flying while pilots are on the street, they have a very punchable face.

The list in section 23 isn’t in order. It’s basically suggestions and actually leaves more options available than just what’s written.

We aren’t even close to furloughs yet. Reduced alv and credit caps next if they are even needed.

The company is still thinking this all ends by late summer and demand returns to a reasonable level.

I really wanted the E190 CA VIL for April but they only awarded 5. My gut vibe said this thing peaks and stalls by the end of April and we’re scaling back up after that. Big issue is going to be commuting in May it seems. I don’t want to have to show 2 days early. Guess I’ll bid the May VIL but I’m bottom 25% so unlikely to get it.

I am sure it’s all being vetted through LSC. It’s all negotiable with ALPA and I am sure we haven’t seen the last LOA in regards to this pandemic. Credit caps wouldn’t be enough to make a big difference, just like early retirements won’t. Without bookings coming back in May/June we will all have to start dusting off our resumes. Until then credit all you can put money in the bank and try not to stress out too much.
