Y2K 2.0?
Not to be a downer, just curious…
for those guys/gals at the majors back in the late 90’s to 9/11, does the environment of today feel kind of feel similar to back then?
big contract gains possible, hiring to the max, dubious mergers being floated, all airlines in precarious financial conditions but still having optimistic managements.

The thing that gets you is something no-one sees coming, like 9/11 and Covid. I feel like the system as it is factors in all this “doom and gloom” and is chugging along in spite of it. If something is gonna kneecap our airlines it’s not gonna be anything we’re talking about now.

The people who predicted what's happening now with inflation and fuel prices were all called conspiracy theorists, racists, and banned from social media. Sure enough though, reality has a pesky way of not caring about the left's feelings. Q2 is over, and we are most likely in an official recession, although I'm sure the MSM and the regime will try to spin that fact as some sort of good thing.
Hopefully the shortfall of pilots in the airlines is large enough that movement and hiring continue, but that will depend on how big the drop in demand is after the last of the covid savings/stimulus is spent this summer.
