He forgot to add that for some bizarre money wasting reason we are still running new hire classes over here at Spirit.

Default The right thing to do? Nobody knows..

Their just isn't enough information to know what the right course of action is at this time. Everything is hanging on when Covoid-19 peaks, and the number of people requiring intensive treatment / deaths begins to go down from day to day, instead of up.

Personally, if they can figure out a way to keep my seniority number and medical benefits, I would be glad to take the next year off without pay. I'm very much considering moving on for good, but the big catch is the medical. I can't get Tri-Care until I'm 60, and I'm only 48 now.

My grandfather taught me to never have a "job" ... "be an employee"... and do something I love, and look at MONEY / WEALTH as a general concept, instead of working for a paycheck. Thus I have, and am incredibly grateful for what aviation has made possible for me in my life. But I can satisfy every ounce of my thirst to fly in my little Super Cub in my spare time. I don't need pointy nosed jets or big airliners anymore to get off.

I do hope the best for everyone for whatever their situation is, and that's not limited to just the pilot group. So many great people involved in every aspect of this industry.

I applaud them for honoring job offers that were made. We're not exactly known for class acts around here so this was a refreshing change. Even if they do get furloughed they have a seniority number to come back to if they choose.
