Thanks for the levity. Not enough of that on here. I’m more fearful that someone is going to blow their aorta banging on their computer here than any of this.

 

Jokes. Definitely harder when in writing than spoken.

 

Same with "English comprehension".
Apparently.

 

Just wanted to let you know I voted NO, but that I’m not at UAL.

 

I just farted and wanted to let everyone know.

 

The answer is a resounding yes for people who think no. Just like farting, you might be proud of it but never admit it. We've all been there.

 

I let the LHR van driver vote for me.

 

I let Barbra Streisand vote for me.

 

I think that is correct. You will hear peeing and moaning for years to come. Likely in the next 10 to 15 years there will be another macro-level economic event that triggers major economic impacts at US airlines. it may geo-political, world health scare (pandemic), regional health crisis (ebola), military conflict, security/terrorism, oil/gas related (middle east peace). It may be government related (re-regulation/de-regulation). You may see further consolidation. No one knows. But, history tells us that every 10 to 15 to 20 years the industry experiences a major contraction, and that contraction is the canary in the coal mine that seems to reflect the mood and health of the national economy.

Why the peeing and moaning? Because we have yet to innocualte oursleves against management's penchant to always go after pilot paychecks. Management is genetically programmed to always go after a labor-cost-advantage on the backs of the pilot group. Every cycle, ALPA, and the other unions try to design a better mouse-trap in order to prevent what seems to always happen.

 

Biden forgot where he was and early voted for Trump. And the LOA.
