The demand may be there to fill the seats and keep our jobs, but the revenue will be less and making improvements coming out of this will be slow. I’m settling in for another lost decade.

If that’s all that happens in BK, I say that’s very optimistic. The judge making this LOA permanent would be just fine IMO, compared to some other creative deep cuts that he could impose. I hope you are correct.

The problem is, UAL also would not want this LOA permanent in the event of a BK.

Yes, they would want deep cuts but pretty much the opposite of this LOA. Instead, they would desire very high LPAs (to enable maximum furloughs) combined with huge cuts to pay and work rules.

This LOA is designed to retain pilots for a rebound, not minimize labor expenses for an airline shrinking in BK.
