Just look at the anticipated lines. Add %20 for reserves. And then the overage would be the overstaffing... all subject to what spring/summer block hours are.. good luck..

9E started bringing back people from training in the beginning of November. Don't know when hiring will resume though.

As someone who had a CJO, it's hard to not find hope in this. I'm trying to not falsely get my hopes up, but man it would be cool if things started chugging back along next year.

If you’re in your 20s you have a long a interesting career ahead. Hang in there. Learn.

You'll be ok.

When you hear that the industry is in the toilet and completely screwed and is now entering the "new normal", start a clock because you're within a couple of years of the upswing.

Learn and prepare. Every 10 years or so we get to ride this train. Get that second source of income going, use this as a learning event to show how important living within your means is, and save, save, save. Nice cars, boats, and big houses are for when you’re at least 50% up the list at the company that you want to retire from, even then, be careful.

Agree, start a company, keep your contacts current, and buy toys with cash and you will always be fine.

I was putting money away back when I didn’t have money, sometimes it was just $50/month. We didn’t take vacations, we didn’t eat out, and we bought practical used cars and drove the wheels off of them. I’m 3/4 through my career now, and if I don’t invest another dime, I’ll be ok. By continuing to live within my means, avoiding debt, and continuing to invest, I’ll retire with zero difference in QOL once the paycheck stops. I’m always amazed at the captains that I fly with who are close to retirement with very little saved. They had boats, planes, expensive cars, big houses, and lived the airline lifestyle to the fullest. I can’t help but wonder how hard reality is going to hit them when the paycheck stops, but then again....... play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I’d rather not work for a living if we can’t eat out and vacation, or do the dirty double... eat out while on vacation.
