Well stop wasting your time posting here, and work on that other job, you better hurry the sky is falling.

I've been in touch with the guy. I am hoping I don't get furloughed or lose the medical but I am somewhat prepared. It's not airline pilot money but things will be ok.

History repeats itself. UAL will hire right up until they furlough. This time is no different.
Also love that the blame is being placed on Boeing, when the real showstopper is that the FAA completely axed your ability to issue type ratings because the wheels are literally coming off your operation.

that LITTERALY never happened

I guess I shouldn’t show up tomorrow for my LOE (type ride). You’re clueless

Somewhere an Eagle crew chief is missing his toothy BJ while running his fingers through some frosted tips.

Savage but hilarious.

So if nobody panicked about the COLA's that were consistently offered over at least the past year or two, why would they be panicking over empty lines???

Empty lines look like they're better for pilots since there's still the flexibility to pick up whatever trips they want (but without MPG protection). And since the the pilots can still fly and maintain currencies, aren't they better for the company vs COLA's that could result in requal training or a landing sim? Usually I can understand a small bit of the chicken little POV, but this time I'm completely lost.

three reasons:

1. Some people don’t trust what the company says due to…. Reasons….

2. Most pilots believe they can read between the lines.

3. Most of the posters in this forum for the past month have been non United pilots wishing and hoping for negative things to happen in order for United’s growth strategy to fail and Kirby to fail.
