Maybe I should give up the jet and go fly the King Air ;-) in any case, in the conference call, the point that was made very clear was that this was an across the board joint sacrifice to protect people’s jobs from furlough. Hopefully in 120 days this will all be behind us.

What are the latest and greatest updates regards, are all pilots flying at TMC or cut back and some no flying similar to WU? Any word on time frame for resuming interviews etc? It's been quiet on tmc blog.....

thanks

meals up

So wheels up pilots take a pay cut while the company "launch meals up covid-19 response."

Hmm, Im all for helping those in need. Seems to me you have to feed your family first though.

I didn’t get to dial into the telecon yesterday since I’m in recurrent. Any updates or interesting news?

not much, kind of sounded like they wanted more pilots to take the 120 or 8/20.

I know one guy who applied for the 8/20 but was given the 8/13.

They got more requests for the LOA and the 8/20 than they planned for. Adjusted for schedule coverage.

Thats what I’m hearing as well. There’s probably a lot of relief that there were pilots willing and/or able to take 120 days unpaid. For theirs and everyone else’s sake, I hope it doesn’t end up being that long.

Kudos to the guys that took the leave. It's good to see those who don't need to work taking a step back so those that do, can.

I'll be buying those guys a beer when this all blows over. Even if the barstools are spaced 6 ft apart!
