Recession Thoughts
Thoughts on UA or any legacy for that matter to withstand the recession the Fed predicted a few days ago? Hiring about to stop? Absorbed due to retirements? Seems like a potential risk to go to the bottom of a seniority list with a faltering economy, or maybe worth it to leave an LCC? Never an easy choice I guess.

Do you have fully formed question? Not trying to be rude, but what is it you're asking?

question:
In the event of a predicted 2 yr recession as the Fed announced, what do you think United’s response would be? Pause hiring, furlough? I know we can’t answer that definitively, just trying to see where the internet is at.

No to worry. Come on in. The water is fine.
1. Furlough protection.
2. No pilot on property will ever pick up open time flying if you are furloughed.
3. Your union will never throw you under the bus to ensure a seniority list integration or contract.
Signed,

more so just thinking out loud, gauging sentiment. Obviously if we all had crystal balls we’d be rich.

If the news cycle successfully convinces people that they should stay home and watch for more news about a recession, then we should be worried.

We're not relying much on business travel right now anyway, so a recession shouldn't hurt nearly as much as it did in 2008.
