You should prepare yourself for the worst. It is becoming more and more likely

Staffing is what, 16-17 per aircraft? Assuming if they ground they’ll either offer reduced-hour lines or “ground” the equivalent crews as well...

many possible solutions if a reduction becomes necessary. I’m hoping our MEC is conferencing with other MECs and ALPA National on possibilities. Probably shouldn’t discuss them here. Right now we are still even running classes next month and are offering leave of absence in May but no word on how many. That’s all we know.

sadly I think 30 will be just the start. If we get through this with only parking 30 it’ll be a miracle.

I heard 40 planes at AFW. and also contacted officials at FTW for possible 10 more planes to store.

Certainly don’t want to be furloughed (and I probably will be). But, have to agree parking planes is the best option as I’d like an airline come back to assuming this ever ends.

yeah. I’ve accepted the fact I’ll be furloughed. I just want something to come back to in 1,2,3,4 years whatever it is.
