Oh absolutely in jest. If anyone isn’t putting money away, now is the time to start. Hopefully this turns out to be a distant memory but always plan for the worst.

With you on that man and cool response.

Regardless, hoping for the best for everyone at each airline and workforce.

They are opening up April vacations to be self cancelable.

Are they thinking a lot of us are going to be out sick...

Just had an update to my skedplus. My last trip for March is now pending. In the past this meant I was being displaced for an IOE trip. I’m thinking this is more a schedule reduction thing. Pending on skedplus has always meant pay protected in the past though.

I would imagine it would be a standard displacement. If all flights were cancelled you would be put on cancellation reserve and if just some flights were cancelled you'd be reflowed. The partners have already committed for all March flying so they're paying for it might as well let it fly.

Skywest is in a bad place given its position of relying on AA,DL,AK, UA....all hurting big time and about to get worse for 6 months or more. There is no way any airline is escaping the inevitable.

I think new hires are getting LAX now. So, you’re probably right. The main reason I left SLC was to be in base, but getting displaced for IOE was always kind of a bummer. Was hoping to get away from that in LA. Oh well. There are definitely worse things.

You are pay protected. People are still finishing in the school house everyday needing to displace line holders.

IMHO Skywest is in a better place than the majors. They negotiate minimum block hours when they sign the long contracts so they're going to get paid unless majors start declaring bankruptcy. This is not uncharted territory for SGU. They know what they're doing.

Its a regional, lol. They’re probably in a better position than the wholly owned carriers (their wagon is hitched to one horse). But, no airline is in a great position at this point.

All this bickering and trying to figure out what the future holds. Having worked through 9/11. Just be glad you have a job. That pays $50 a hr to start. Back them. We were all getting $19-24 a hour and blessed just to have a flying job.. hunker down. And don't get picky if your job hunting...
