Any theories, if it is a reduction, on why if we are supposedly going to be net neutral with staffing after the deliveries this year?
these meetings actually happen quite frequently. I wouldn’t expect anything dramatic to come from
these. I also Can’t imagine they would furlough prior to the Appeal playing out

Last night I commuted home (on us) from a reserve assignment. The captain said he was 10 years and had just applied to United (lives in Denver).

Just applied? Silly guy should have applied long ago. JetBlue/Spirit combo never would have helped him living in Denver. I’m thinking hes just trying to not come across as stupid in front of his FO that’s got a class date else where. I hope this story is true though!
10 years out helps what? 80% of the list?

Who said the planes will be back in 2025. This is a multi year issue w the engines. It will peak at the end of 2024 w 40 planes down.

Further, excess capacity in the ULCC model is another major issue with profitability. Having all that extra capacity flying wouldn’t necessarily help our situation if people don’t want what we are selling or don’t want it at a price that is profitable at least.

The company has to evolve and it doesn’t sound like the leadership has any real plans

Have to give people what they want. Getting yelled at by agents, waiting 30min for rampers and an hour in baggage claim isn’t what they want.
