Pilot shortage?? There are 1700+ UNA Delta pilots that would argue otherwise...

Not pilot shortage, just a really big screw up on behalf of Delta's management.

Joe biden went down to georgia. He was looking for an election to steal. He was in a bind, he was way behind, looking to make a deal....
Done !

I do not believe the economy is as stable as it seems or as great as some say it is. An engine always runs best right before it fails.
Silver is good.

The recovery is proving to be more V like; but the question is how long does that engine keep running? The pilot shortage will be right back front and center by winter 2021 in my opinion if all else remains unchanged and as projected.

But even I wouldn’t make any big deals based upon that alone.

Thank you, Satan.

The economy is being incredibly propped up at the moment. All it will take is a small amount of instability and things will start a downward spiral pretty quick.

I think the markets will hit new highs with another round of stimulus by next summer. But if we see a problem with these vaccines, a problem with supply, a problem with distribution... Things will spiral quickly. Our economy is teetering on the edge and the middle class/small business owners have been decimated. That takes years to come back, if ever.

Supply and distribution will be fine, it's not rocket science. Somehow we do it for the flu every year without getting our panties in a wad.

Where we *might possibly* have problems is if the vaccines themselves have either performance or safety issues over time, just have to wait and see on that. Data so far looks unusually good in both respects. mRNA vaccine technology was being developed because they had hoped all along that it WOULD be better than some of the established tech... this just gave them an opportunity to prove it.

Even vaccine failure risk is mitigated by multiple vaccine technologies in the works... seems like good odds that at least one of those will work.

The vaccine doesn't even have to work particularly well to turn things around

If we get hospital workers vaccinated, it's much easier to staff hospitals
If we get teachers vaccinated, it's much easier to run schools
If only rich people have access ... they can start travelling again

If all the vaccine does is just actually turn covid into a bad flu season ... then we have won the battle.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at this one. Was it an intended jab? If not, it should have been.

Covid isn't even a particularly bad flu season so that's a pretty low bar
