For our new pilots, this is every year, we always have a summer meltdown. And like mentioned, this is a cake walk compared to others; we haven’t been forced to give up contractual rights in this meltdown
This post is from 2019 and somehow very relevant still today

Are we surprised people aren’t lining up for a job to get yelled at by passengers all day or load bags in 100 degree heat when they can get extended unemployment benefits and not get evicted when they don’t pay their rent. Buy hey they’ll be safe at home not getting covid right?

Fact is all the service industries facing labor shortages just don’t want to pay more than Uncle Sam.

This one doesn’t seem as bad as the last though. Saw planes sitting idle so it seems we have plenty of spares. Also everything is covered in open time it seems.

Well maybe that’s where all the spare planes came from ha. Sure wasn’t for crew. My phone never rang.

Last time I checked, half of the States already ended the Federal unemployment benefit, including Florida. It's possible they simply found better jobs. I know, shocking.
