Taxpayer burden 2020/2021
Can’t expand on here what category I am with the bailouts, but watch out!
2020/2021 bailouts…fine. Taxpayers are about to hit their limit with airline incompetence before we (pilots who want a new contract) do.
discuss amongst yourselves….
it’s the real deal. Quit smack talking how much double dippping / triple dipping you’re doing meow. I’d be very wary of starting with an airline next year or so. (Read: hired, 2021 sept or after and through this year). Until airlines prove we are worth it, there’s an unintended backlash coming…and soon.

All those government handouts went everywhere. They weren't limited to airlines. One would have to have lived under a rock to think that airlines were the only recipients of government dole. That's as nice a comment as I'm able to muster about the OP.

Would you rather be on the street due to a regional liquidation or a major furlough? Both have pros and cons of course. The liquidated regional guy gets more sympathy and he can go anywhere without the baggage of a seniority number. He may even get a preferential interview. Some people value that. Ultimately you have to balance the +5 million pay you'll receive at a major with the benefits of being at a regional when it's liquidated.
BTW, Morgan Stanley says oil is going to $100.

The only thing that can hurt the airlines now is more government overreach and communist policy. People aren't going to quit flying out of spite. The economy is going to tank but not to 2008 levels. Consolidation has made the industry much less vulnerable to these cyclic events.

OP’s awareness bubble doesn’t extend very far beyond the terminal imoho. Reminds me of fans of sports teams thinking their own fans are the very worst or best at whatever while having no idea that people one stadium over think the same thing.
