On the town halls whenever someone brings up a scenario of us growing or gaining market share or taking advantage of the situation or anything of that nature, leadership guys sort of giggle like, “Oh, you pilots are so naive and cute” and reiterate that we are in survival mode and will be lucky to stop the hemorrhaging.

It’s entertaining thinking that a lot of us here think we are somehow different, immune or just wishful thinking to our position in this industry.
I’m sure this will trigger everyone again!

The old saying was when got hired at a major.....
First year, live like you were at a commuter
As an FO, live like you were an FE
As a captain, live like you were an FO and you would always be prepared for a furlough or downgrade.
Probably doesn’t work nowadays for the need to have it all now generation.

To think any us have the answers to this unprecedented, day to day crisis is ludicrous. But by all means, you continue to tell those about to possibly hit the the street, you told them so.

I had a CA tell me I didn’t have a real aviation career until I was furloughed three times. So far been furloughed once (9/11) maybe downgrading here soon. I’m not so concerned about a furlough here as I am about the company going under, if I get furloughed it’s fine I have a place to come back to, the company going under is another issue entirely.

The difference between what they are saying and what they are thinking. Surprisingly, WN management let the cat out of the bag.
