No, you (like) to think that. Not Wallstreet. Either back it up witch sources or stop saying things you want to happen. Truly sad people showing their true colors soon as they start feeling the heat. Let’s hope we all make it through this I won’t even waste my time on explaining why you are wrong.

We're all screwed. All of our companies are screwed.
The public is going to be hiding in their homes for a while and everywhere one would travel to visit is closing. Disney and the Smithsonian are a couple of the latest. Can't have more than 500 people in NYC in the same place. Too many more examples to name.
This is quickly becoming devastating for every airline.
The coronavirus cure is quickly becoming worse than the sickness. Hypothetically saving (pick a made up number) of lives when it creates a worldwide economic depression is not what I'd consider a desirable outcome.
Let's all hope:
1) No airline fails, and
2) This ends quickly.

To get off reserve in the left seat at NK you need to get to around 40% RS, and including retirements that would mean at least 6K pilots for NK. How sure are you that is going to happen? Not sure which ULCC you are looking at, but I guess all are somewhat similar in that respect. At AA all the geezers are dropping like flies there are lots of retirements, and because the top 30% of the seniority list is widebody (and fly bigger aircraft) getting of reserve as a NB captain will (i think) be faster. Apply to all, see what you get. I will be here all week, tip the waitress.
bye bye I guess.
