So now we are at $1900. Assume they put their entire bonus towards student loans they will will still have at least $100 per month. Now they have no room for a $300 cut. Depending on state with the current $200 extra one will qualify for between 4-600 per week on unemployment, they will make just as much on unemployment without having to pay for crash pads while sitting on reserve.

The Chicago airline burned through $40 million a day in the April-through-June quarter but said it will trim losses to $25 million a day in the current quarter by slashing costs.

There are about 250 pilots on reserve this month. If flying remains constant, I expect to see 250 pilots on reserve. That also depends of the min hours required for a line. If that goes up, more reserves.

My guess is that J.O. will furlough at some time. As MANY as needed, by also NOT to cross train pilots. The right balance will be the number.

To furlough 490 pilots, things have to get much worse. My guess is that a single CRJ-Ejet cross training event costs 30 to 50'000 dollars (2 to 3 month salary, hotel per diem, simulator, etc.).

Our mainline partners won't subsidize a single penny for that.

I'm sure J.O. doesn't want to pay for that.

Heck, we will pay some of those training costs indirectly when furloughs start in January of 2021.

With the 8 hours credit reduction over 3 month.

VOTE NO!!!

I'm glad to see some of you are ready to stand up to the company. Hold the line! The other SJS, will fly for free shmucks, get what you deserve.

Where's your hoverboard, Zuckerberg? Enjoy the downturn, big time exec! 🤣🤣🤣

There were probably over 250 hours of open time combined today only.

As of yesterday morning, there were 2 trips totaling 4 credit hours.

For the past months, there was barely anything to be picked up.

If he gets the place to pre covid reserve numbers he won’t be able to do that. This is where the new Mesa financed ejets come in, or our 700s that are owned outright. I don’t know the status of the new ejets, and it will be interesting to see what goes down the next few

I’m on the chopping block, I’d rather get chopped than sit reserve for the next six months.
