I was better prepared financially for my second furlough. Crap happens in this business.

I was homeless for nearly three months WITHOUT even being furloughed.

there is no benefit to our pilot group to merge with anyone, dont understand the fascination with nk/f9 merger that is likely never going to happen



No insults just saying a strong & sure thing comment like the above tend to make people think you have not been in aviation long enough.

Smarter industry analysts (multiple) are for sure we will see M&A attempts that will happen really soon. Much much sooner than 4-5yrs. Also oil prices have spiked 30% over a few short months (how long will it stay at these levels is the concern).

Many carriers F9, B6, NK, SW, Alaska, Hawaiian, United Continental are evaluating themselves & all long-term opportunities.
