It's amazing how when things are good, the "grass is always greener over there", when things are reversing, it's "thank god we're not over there!"

The grass is green where you water it and take care of it. Everybody’s grass has been salted in the past 2 months.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

That will change soon though again. The LCC and ULCC management groups are already trying to grab for major concessions. Take a look at the Allegiant forum and you will see. SWA management has already started the verbal hint that its time to give back. This will be reverberated by all management groups once one airline caves and agrees to it. Its the same playbook over and over. Now lets see if the current pilots learned from that history.

Those of us at Allegiant have grown accustomed to such antics. Luckily everyone I have spoken with has zero interest in any givebacks... particularly our union leadership.

When asked how my mother’s roses grew so beautifully, my dad let out the secret. They grow over the laterals of the septic tank. They get fed ****** every day. Not sure what that says here.

Can you produce a source for what you claim Delta ALPA said?

Hilarious thread. Everyone talking about how the other guy's job/airline are screwed.

Here's who's really screwed: Every single pilot for every single airline. If you don't get furloughed, you'll take pay cuts (save the keyboard antics for someone else; it will happen to all of us), contract concessions, and a career that's moving in reverse due to furloughs.

As for Zoom replacing business travel, that's just brain dead idiocy. Zoom has turned out to be an extremely hackable platform. Which is a huge weakness for teleconferences no matter which vendor you use. Want to invite the world to your business discussions? Use a teleconferencing platform. Any one of them; they're all hackable.

I can come up with 25 different scenarios to explain why LCCs are worse off than legacies. And I can come up with 25 different scenarios to explain why legacies are worse off than LCCs. The problem with the clowns on here stating how 'the other guy' is more screwed is ignoring all of the different ways his own airline can/will be screwed.

Time to break out the BOHICA flight bag stickers because BOHICA.
