It's been fun
Any more of this reckless "caution" from authorities and I will be out of work. At least that's the feeling I'm getting from the increasingly ominous-sounding emails. It feels akin to a person being euthanized in order to dull the pain of a stubbed toe. Let's hope sanity returns and fast. I doubt Delta is going to share its bail-out with us.

I'm already getting my plan B ducks lined up with old employers. Hope it doesn't come to that, but as you said, each email from management sounds less optimistic than the last. I'm literally the 6th from the bottom of the entire pilot group seniority, so if the "f" word happens, I'll be the first out the door and the last let back in.

Hopefully sunny can bounce back quickly after everyone figures out how ridiculous this whole thing is, and the impact it's had and is going to have on everyone. I hope it doesn't last much longer, many people will be dipping into their savings and it will take that much longer to get the "leisure" travelers back.

Who has savings.Those are non existent for most of the population. Everything runs on Credit.Unless Judo can turn this entire airline into a Cargo operation, we are all going to be on the streets in a matter of days.
Hope I'm wrong.

Where is everyone getting a 60% pay cut from ? The email said 60% of normal hourly schedules. That equates to 42 hours per month if your using a 70 hour average.
go look at the link below or visit the MN unemployment website to estimate your unemployment benefits. It tells you what you would get on unemployment. Max payout is just over $700 per week, so for many of us that’s a lot less than taking their offer.

So 60% pay of 100% is a 40% pay cut. The minimum wage line I think was a shot at our already low pay compared to our peers ??

At the same time this is something completely bigger than " Just the airlines" Every industry in the world is having a meltdown besides maybe the medical profession and some others. If we go down, there will be millions that go down with us. I personally had no idea that airlines run on such thin margins where if income is stopped for 4-6 weeks the entire operation shuts down.
