Well I guess not if the Federal Government doesn’t care anymore either.

So then….we have a good domicile choice. That’s about it.

Excellent point. Gubmint picking winners and losers.

“Between 2008 and 2014, the Federal Reserve printed more than $3.5 trillion in new bills. To put that in perspective, it’s roughly triple the amount of money that the Fed created in its first 95 years of existence. Three centuries’ worth of growth in the money supply was crammed into a few short years. The money poured through the veins of the financial system and stoked demand for assets like stocks, corporate debt and commercial real estate bonds, driving up prices across markets.”

And then we wonder why we’re experiencing this great mystery called inflation?

When/if it all collapses who know what things will look like, but with no debt you’ve at least got options. 🤷‍♂️

Is this why Bob sent an "I'm sorry for the WARN notices" letter in the mail on December 20? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yep. He sent a letter apologizing and asking the WARNd not to poison the new hires with their hatred and evil bile. Culture is up to them blah blah blah.

It's the equivalent of an abusive spouse saying I'm sorry for hitting you, but if you tell the kids I'll effing kill you.

i'll send you mine. Whoever is in charge of Bob's comms is clueless....all it did was make me mad all over again.

Real smart guys. Turn the bottom 1221 into pipe hitting unionists with unnecessary WARNs. Then, a year after the fact, tell 'em they're the ones in charge of kulture and not to remind their new hire buddies how cutthroat management is.

I'm sure this'll go exactly the way you planned it if you hand out a few more rapid rewards points and give out some socks while delaying negotiations and ignoring things like feeding your crews and getting them hotels in a timely manner, Bob.

i'm tempted to send my note from the Bob back, postage due, of course.

I was ****ed all over again too. This month has sucked because of the memories of that WARN letter last December. I had just gotten home from a trip and thought back on the last month and was generally pretty darn happy with the Capts I’d gotten to fly with. I promised myself I’d leave the WARN bitterness in my rear view mirror…. NOPE! Guess what was in the stack o mail to read while enjoying some Barely-Pop.
I high-sided and it damn near ruined my beer(s).
Thankfully I didn’t send the latest letter back with my handwritten beer inspired thoughts.
ugh….
