Losing so much flying and parking aircraft everywhere ones gotta think the music has stopped and we are just waiting for the ship to break in two.

Well Delta is being kind of a hard ass because they've got a FA union drive. Instead of offering the FAs SIL (because they don't have to negotiate anything with them) they're trying to show the FAs life will be harder with a union not better. "Look at what we're doing to those pilots, that could be you soon". Delta is pretty flush with cash.

The airlines don’t know how long this will last, they want to maintain the ability to ramp up on the spring back which will probably be sometime this summer if historical black swans are any indicator. That being said why waste a perfectly good crisis? Get some concessions from the pilot groups while you can.

If this is your first economic downturn as an airline pilot, welcome to the suck. This too will pass.

I guess I don’t recall any recent posts from myself about pilot shortage although personally before this hit I did think it was here but felt I was more in the quiet side of the crowd on that subject. But at the same time if I was saying pilot shortage three weeks ago it would be understandable seeing as things were in the up and making a move to an Airbus for even FOs wasn’t an extremely hard thing to do. But not the first time riding the wave just was expecting a faster crash.

Low oil prices won’t even come close to offsetting the massive revenue loss the airlines are experiencing.

History is never irrelevant. This thing is very much like the misnamed 1918 Spanish Flu. There are lessons to be learned from that tragedy. Airlines did not even exist then, but railroads did.

History never completely informs current situations, or the future, but like all forms of information, it should not be dismissed.

We can always learn from history. The CDC director is saying this virus may slow down over the summer but fall/winter months it will be back for another wave. If there is no vaccine by then, he said to expect more social distancing / lock down orders. I get it, but I have no idea how the entire world's economy is supposed to function if businesses are shutting down after just a few weeks of this.
