I would imagine that all carriers would help out.

Definitely!

Where it gets tricky is if/when/how long it takes to lose access to the CASS system as that is what allows you to continue to have "cockpit access." If it comes to this and CASS is disabled on the airline end, then Jumpseat can still be offered, but only in a seat in the back.

So, if it comes to that end, getting home early would be well advised.

Removal from the CASS system would happen immediately, however most airlines would allow crews to catch a ride home riding in the back at no cost, provided there is an empty seat.

Most of us would float buddy passes to get yall home. Or give up a jumpseat to get you back by midnight. If that happens we gotta stick together.


Thank you !

Sterileman is the guy who sits in your jumpseat and calls pro standards afterwords

This is 100% true. What’s also true is the 15th of this month is also crucial for securing the next round of DIP financing. If that doesn’t happen, well….​​​​​​

Sadly, operational performance over the last two weeks has been unimpressive.

Spirits performance the last 3 days has been near perfect so something has improved.

the amount of daily flights decreased from holiday peak making it manageable for bend-over?

In the current predicament, operational performance needs to be perfect all the time. Time is running out. NK needs to show creditors and any potential buyers that it can be a stellar performing company. That has not happened over the last two weeks when it needs to happen. Nobody has made a move to buy and performance has not been good overall. These are two things that the next DIP payment requires. Crossing fingers that NK will survive the next 30 days.
