This right here. I’m just hoping there are no bailouts for any airlines. Especially the legacy carriers. They have had 20 years since their last bailout to get sorted. No more. I’m tired of supporting people on welfare indefinitely. I’m tired of supporting airlines while they record record profits and give jobs to those less qualified because the candidate is an aviation minority (non white male or female.). At my last job (Skywest) I flew with awesome white guys at 30 years old with 5k pic in 121, degree no black marks, and all that. Nothing. Crickets. But Manuella Ramirez who just got off IOE and has 1600 hours, HIRED! I’m Latino but only applied at one of the legacies because I don’t want to work anywhere else. I left my regional because I didn’t want to commute, thus I’m getting a confirmed ticket at my ACMI. Life is a zillion times better. Rant over.

What is really surprising is the cruise lines get a bail out also. Their ships are registered in foreign countries to avoid getting taxed in the US.

only if they register their ships under a US flag. Most cruise ships will pass on the money because of that.

Interesting that USAF can't retain the pilots needed for at least 5 (or more?) years.. I"m sure that's gonna sort itself out for now.. I'm getting calls from those that dropped retirement / resignation letters... "what do I do now??". seems theres' a rush to cancel those letters.. I"m guessing the Force will gladly entertain those queries. Hey, we have an unaccompanied tour for you in Middle Earth!!

Well bubbas retiring have no need to worry. They're in the "Check of the Month" club. Guys/gals separating (present company included) should just go Guard/Reserve if they weren't already. There are boat loads of vacancies all over. To each their own and good luck.
