I see you're being you again.

Before anyone takes this individuals information too seriously, I'd recommend using the "view prior posts" feature of APC and reading through some of this individual's other predictions from the last month or two. Their track record of accurately predicting things is not impressive.

denial and wishful thinking gets people no where. I’m basically saying be prepared for what’s coming because it won’t be pretty. Save now. Many of the UA pilots I know are taking the leaves so they can get other jobs ahead of the September deluge. Many Skywest pilots doing exactly the same thing. Previous furloughs show this was the best strategy. Be ahead of the curve. Flattened or not.

yup. Doing my research. When UA only needs 5000 pilots at the moment, you know it’s going to get ugly. DL, AA and UA have stated they will be smaller airlines next year.

It lets you get credit for every year over one (have to have at least one full year), up to a max of 10 years. So if they have 10 years at a 121, then in theory they can start at maxed out FO pay. I came to SkyWest at year 3 pay a few years back. The problem is that we aren't hiring right now, and we have a list of people of people that need to come back to training before we would be hiring again.

Yeah I imagine it’ll be a while before hiring resumes. Just wondering if TG or Russell chip have pulled a policy that would cost them money going forward. The pendulum has swung back in managements corner big time.

Considering how often you personally indicate your disdain for regional pilots, I'm sure you'd really not enjoy flying with guys like us. Probably better to stay where you are.

He came from here, all United pilots are welcome back if it comes to that. Currently 1320 volunteers are out, if it goes for more then 3 months then expect unvoluntary furloughs here.

not to mention 67 hr lines effectively helped 1000 pilot decrease.. So around 2300 pilots less then last month...
