That’s the beauty of commentary here though. Someone be able to dig this up in 8 months and proclaim they’re prediction was correct. Maybe a sort of vindication for the no voters who saw it coming.

Maybe you should read the latest Crew Resources that just came out?
Also, when you have approximately 13,000 pilots and you’re only flying 37% of your staffed schedule, it’s simple math...
Wait a second... carry the 1 and add the 2... wait that’s not it!!! Wait, let me take off my shoes... Ugh, pilots doing math in public!!!
Wait it’s simple... 13,000 x .37= 4810 pilots needed.

You guys are wasting your time with this one. He's very likely been banned from the other forum (easy to see why) and has come here because the new forum that was created is a dead echo chamber. Same MO - argumentative and loves to twist others' statements into something completely different than what they said.

Anything Upper group. They’ll feast also. Middle group they’ll get some scraps. Lower, nada. Yep WE, not Covid changed the rules and created our own feast or famine. To suggest this is covid is disingenuous.
How’s it going over at AA? DAL? sWa? Haven’t seen any of them split their pilot group in the name of covid.

I have worked for 2 majors that shut down (had I stayed at ASA that would have lasted long enough ... just long enough) That puts things into perspective. Look at the doughnut and not the hole ... look at the glass that is half full.
I have always counted my blessings every day. YMMV ... just depends on how you look at it.
