I've read a couple of these. Every single one works very hard to 1) Present the fact that the numbers aren't perfect and paint too nice a picture, and (surprisingly) 2) There is no tomfoolery happening, and collecting these numbers is very hard. They're also forward about the chances that it has been happening since the mass temporary layoffs began. It's almost like they're reporting facts. Citing the Obama administration Labor Secretary is keeping everybody calm, methinks.Funny you should say that:
Ex-acting Labor secretary defends BLS in the wake of jobs report misclassification error | CNN Politics
The former acting head of the Labor Department under the Obama administration said he believes a "misclassification error" in the May jobs report, which may place the real unemployment rate higher than the one touted by President Donald Trump, was not done intentionally to make the White House...www.cnn.com
BLS, however, noted its data collectors — for the third month in a row — misclassified some workers as "employed not at work," when they should have been classified as "unemployed on temporary layoff."
Barring that issue, the unemployment rate could have been as high as 19.2% in April and 16.1% in May, not including seasonal adjustments, the BLS said.
"I fear that because this was a fairly serious misclassification that people are going to hatch a bunch of conspiracy theories around it. They shouldn't do that," Seth Harris, who served as acting Labor Secretary under President Barack Obama, told CNN's Fredricka Whitfield on Saturday.
I don’t know what I’d do without the lake this summer. I’m on it 4-5 times a week. Even @learhawkerbe400 is buying a boat.I like the improvements. I still want my leave to last through the summer though. If I get called back early I’ll have to go back to my old ways with all my future summer plans.

I don’t know about you but going back to work (consider myself lucky) is going to be tough. I’ve been getting 8 hours of sleep every night and the house looks like a different place.I don’t know what I’d do without the lake this summer. I’m on it 4-5 times a week.

I’ve actually been home a lot less since I last flew in early April. We are always heading somewhere or doing something. Leaving this afternoon for broken bow lake in Oklahoma for a week. Airbnb is super cheap right now.I don’t know about you but going back to work (consider myself lucky) is going to be tough.

First flight today since April 6, three flights, 3 hard carrier landings, 546 passengers transported. The only empty seats on the plane on the three flights was the jumpseat. So the passenger demand appears to be there.
I think it means they can add more flights than we are currently flying. we only fly between big cities. I don’t know tho I’m just a pilot. Those decisions are above my pay grade.
But walking around the airports I flew to today the airport terminals are still deserted with not a soul in sight but the gates where our flights were operating they were packed and crowded.
Is the demand really there, or is it people having to travel on less available flights, thus making it look like demand is there and loads higher? I’m not familiar with how your carrier is operating currently, hence the curious question.
Ashville? Just drive to CLT you pansy.I do think it's a good move business wise to add capacity early. I gotta go back to work on Tuesday and Delta and United have one option each to get me from AVL-ORD. AA has 3 or 4. So my last choice among the big three just became the first.
Why would he do that when the company will buy him a ticket to work from AVL?Ashville? Just drive to CLT you pansy.
Because he's gonna go through a hub. Drive to a real airport and get the direct. That's what I used to do when I was a technician and someone paid for my ticket.Why would he do that when the company will buy him a ticket to work from AVL?

We flew half a dozen people a plane not that long ago. Currently all AAG flights are capped at 85%, and all but one flight were at that 85%. Had a UAL guy in the j/s yesterday going IAH to DFW. Was myself in a j/s about a week ago going to FLL or MIA to accommodate an offline nonrev in the back.I was just curious as to what people are seeing and experiencing, as there’s so much noise of info out there to know what’s fact and what’s chaff.
Now, even more than ever, we thank you for choosing AmericanI do think it's a good move business wise to add capacity early.

It is when you compare it to 86,000 in March. 500k was also on Thursday. Wish they still updated that page daily. They now make us wait for Fri/Sat/Sun to come on Monday which sucks.I think it’s a little of both, but big picture still isn’t great when you look at the tsa pax numbers this year, 500,000 on Friday compared with 2.6 million on the same day last year.
