If we furlough in May I don’t see it going past the 600-900 range. If it goes north of that the airline might not recover.
The aircraft deliveries are still coming just reduced the number slightly. What has me concerned is not getting LHR. How do run the Int’l op with three birds. Where do you keep the spare? Keep it state side or keep it in London. At least if you got 4 you could keep one in each country.

London flying starts next year and there is no bid out for it yet either. The training department isn’t that fast at getting guys on the schedule.

According to the newly posted ALPA Supplemental Bid video up on YouTube, it’s looking like three effective dates towards the second half of 2021. So 100 total pilots makes sense for the baby bus.

New hires that got sent home back in March have been told not to expect to return in 2021.

No, that is not what was said. They said there are no set plans as of now, but nothing to the extent of no return. It's tough to say what will happen at the present moment. No need to instill unnecessary fear.

Thank you for clarifying.

No expectations but whatever external info I can glean helps a lot as I try to bridge the career gap between now and a hopeful JB call.

I guess it all depends on how this vaccine rollout goes. I could see things starting to gear up by mid summer. I’m hearing from some in the medical profession that they expect it to be readily available to everyone by February to March.

That is about what I hear and expect. Long time ago I said my crystal ball showed summer 2021 PAX at 75 to 80%. Just looked again. Still says that.

Sorry it doesn’t give international / domestic split. Also does not say what the ticket pricing / profitability will be.

Spare crews and spare aircraft to cover one flight? What?

Just passing along the rumor. I agree it sounds ridiculous and probably won’t happen. But this is Blue and IROPS are one of our core values 🤣
