I hope you’re right, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a bunch of “it’s too early to know but I’m confident that with all your hard work and dedication to our guests, we will emerge from this a strong airline”

So basically after going two feet forward and one back in my 29 years as a commercial pilot, strikes, furloughs, bankruptcies, 9/11, the Great Recession and now Covid, I’m supposed to just throw out the seniority I’ve gained so you don’t face a possible short furlough? So we can go from the second lowest paid Airbus operator and set the bar even lower?
I hate to tell you this, but the company doesn’t care, never has, only cares about their bottom line and responsibility to it’s shareholders. If you are offering concessions, which you are, it is something that is very difficult to get back from this management. What stops them from filing Chapter 11 later and we had given concessions already? You do not know what the future holds, the company may face more headwinds. Most pilot groups have realized from past experiences that concessions do not help.
Why isn’t Flying the Line a mandatory requirement to read?
