So I’m going to be stuck on the bottom and my buddies left to be furloughed next year when F9 finally goes bankrupt. Awesome.

Yes terrible times. Make sure to complain loudly to your twice furloughed Captain who had to wait at least 10 years before he could be a bottom feeder narrowbody Captain.

There are always also a few FO’s that always seem to be in open time, it doesn’t seem to just be limited to captains.

I understand your new hire class is starting soon...........surely it is not too late to rescind your resignation at F9.

Success in life comes down to decisions you make when under the most pressure.

And one of the guys who thought mandating health insurance would make it cheaper.

This makes the most sense to me as well. Kirby has said previously that they have “a lot of off ramps” with the large order book. I’ve taken that to mean they can retire the old and less efficient Airbus and 737 NGs as well as the 756 fleet whenever it makes sense. When I saw the orders years ago, it seemed too ambitious, but the plan seems to be fill up the order book so the competitors can’t get new planes for a long time. Use the new airplanes for growth until the economy tanks, then retire the old fleets and the hope the efficiency of the new airplanes will cover some losses during the downturn. The questions is, what do you do with all the pilots on the seniority list?
