And headed to be a 100 Airplane, 1700 Pilot Airline, that’s the Sun Country of Florida. But I don’t think they will ever get to that point before they cease operations. The cash burn is far to high.

OMG, Victim much? Everyone who has chosen to stay to this point deserves what’s coming. The building is filled with smoke and fire alarms have been blaring for 3 years now, but many wanna stay because the room they are in isn’t on fire right now. You have people cheering for the building, not only chosing to stay, but telling others they are crazy for evacuating. Outside marrying my highschool sweetheart, and my kids, Delta Air Lines was the greatest blessing God ever gave me.

I left because I didn't think it would get better. It was a hard decision because I will never get back the seniority I had. So when I see the current announcement it validates my decision. That is in no way a celebration of what the NK pilots are going through. Regardless if they chose to stay or could not leave, they did not deserve this. Hindsight is always better, and I should have left when I told everyone to leave. And I don't expect or deserve sympathy for that. Just because people are calling out the likes of Lincoln doesn't mean they are gloating about your situation. They are calling out his unwarranted optimism in the face of facts.

We had 2840 Pilots on last months bid. We will be furloughing 270 as of right now. So 2570 left on property before any attrition.
196 airplanes after the sale puts us at 13.11 per plane.
But we are planning on ~ 40 planes down for a while.
16.5 for active planes.
Could mean more planes back online sooner, more plane sales, or more furloughs. No one knows.
Especially Bendo.

Its greating being comforted and validated in your choices. But if you were simply to hear about the furloughs and come here to say man that sucks for you guys glad I left when I did. Wouldn't that just be a backhand to the current pilot group and add zero value to the conversation? Everyone knows Lincoln was wrong and simple post like judge smalls that gives condolences shows good character.

Edit to add, just saw Fangs post. I am not trying to stir or troll. Hope things get better. Over and Out.
