If passed no furloughs until 30 Sept
Airlines to get loans, cash-for-equity bailouts
|
Is it likely the airlines will take this? The cost of keeping everyone on the payroll without cutting pay rates for 6 months, when only a small portion of your fleet is flying, and you have few passengers has to be astronomical. I guess if you thought everything was going to pick up shortly it would be worth it, but if it doesn’t, I’m wondering if this is too costly for them to accept.

Isn't that what the $25,000,000,000 is for?
I am merely asking the question of what people think they will do. I have no idea.🙁 |
They will take the money. What they are getting is what they basically asked for in that letter they sent to Congress
What CEO wants to be remembered as the guy to turn down free money to pay his employees instead said **** it just put them on the street |

Still has to pass the house.

What does no reducing pay rates mean? Is it talking about actual pay rates or is it saying we’ll make the same take home pay as before regardless of not flying with parked planes? I mean that’s a good deal if true but a big taxpayer waste.

Does provision 2 prevent consolidation before September 2021 or is that strictly in reference to buy backs? |

I’m sure there are far more expenses and losses than just payroll. Plus they have to give the government equity and abide by other restrictions. I’m not certain the airlines will accept this, I wouldn’t put it past them to just furlough, and declare bankruptcy when they need to.

Start saving your money now. It's gonna be a LONG furlough for many of us. Worse than 9/11. Some of us are looking at 5-10 year furloughs probably. |

10 years from now we will have gone thru another entire economic cycle.
Do you have a doomsday shelter? |
Amr had decade plus furloughs after sept 11. Age 65, fuel and recession didn’t help. But yes hard to see that happening again.

in 10 years there will be about 8000 pilots at DL and 6000ish at AA who are currently on their respective senority lists |
I can see a ton of 60 plus guys just hanging it up. Especially with some of the deals I’ve seen. I wouldn’t want to go through the last few years of my career in this environment. Personally I’m planning on 60 but it really depends on what it looks like at that time. If it looks like this I’m out.

a lot of those guys who stayed out that long did it by choice. They had a good job and/or military thing going, and held onto their recall number until the last minute. Then swooped in with good seniority when THEY chose to.

Understood. I know 2 that it was a decade till given the chance at a recall (Plus or minus a year). One was twa the other was in 727 training sept 11. Started a 3 year clock once called I believe? I wouldn’t say they had good jobs in the meantime. Relatively speaking.

AA is scheduled to retire ~ 5,500 by 2026.. very different then post 9/11. AA also has furlough pay.. anyone on property for over a year will get severance pay.
I also think a lot will depend on how many will take the early leave. Should see some numbers late today and more results on the 30th . |

“except that no furlough pay will be paid when furloughs are caused by an act of God, a national emergency,” |

Furlough pay is industry standard, but so is this line in the contract:
“except that no furlough pay will be paid when furloughs are caused by an act of God, a national emergency,” |
Spirit has furlough pay, and also the clause stated above.
