I hear about Air Wis. That sucks. Hopefully they can keep it going.

Yea... I’m sure they said that... however they are definitely blowing smoke up your exhaust. They wanna keep as many people interested in PSA in case of a quick turn around and so they don’t fall behind the hiring curve again. The stark reality is that an airline is going to tell you anything to keep you strung along. My advice keep your options open and take the next available flying job you can. This isn’t going to be over quickly especially if we get hit with a second big wave of COVID.

Bad times are ahead that's for sure.

Good seniority for the flight benefits and 401k contribution rates. Maybe I will accrue vacation way faster too (no idea when the first increase is) I am just trying to see anything positive at this point. Same thing for AirWis- but with what Kirby was saying about decreased 50 seat jets I am leaning towards carriers with the e175 now or crj7/9
