I remember when Janet Yellen said it was transitory. The worst inflation in over 50 years.

Do you mean how many pilots got put on the street?


Several hundred at least, I’m hoping they all have a place to land.

Ok, thanks for the correction.

Tragic for all of them, I hope they land on their feet and get flying again soon..

Not just an APC problem unfortunately. Check literally any post on Facebook (regardless of topic) and someone brings politics into it.. but yep the crocodile tears for our Spirit brothers/sisters lasted all of about 3 seconds. Cue the "so are we buying Spirit's planes/gates/slots" threads.

Post-COVID United hires are always asking that, especially when our Brethren have fallen on hard times. They got indoctrinated in the house of Kirby and their personalities reflect that.

The vast majority of people asking that are former NK folks. Asset purchases in FLL, MCO, etc… means a potential pilot base or more home layovers. Good attempt at throwing shade though
