Nice of them to give you a 30-day stay...I guess.
I wonder if that'll affect the furlough pay issue at all.

Yesterday TSA screening numbers were at 27%. Not to be too doom n gloom, but I'm not looking forward to winter when the regular flu infections and deaths mix with Covid19 deaths. A second wave would devastate the already low airline demand.

Meh I disagree. I bet it's the same. Obviously those travelling now are not concerned.

Yeah but we saw in the summer when cases/infections went up, forward looking bookings went down.

For states that forced 14 day quarantines. We will see if that happens again. Either way it will be a sh**show

That’s actually really great for a Tuesday in 2020. Tuesdays always suck really bad. The rest of the days of the week are in the lower 30s year over year and are improving a little over 1% week over week. That’s still not going to pay the bills, but the fact that year over year travel numbers have not only not totally crumped, but continue to grow post summer is encouraging.

Gary Kelly was on CNBC yesterday. He didn’t seem very encouraged. Kept talking about how these are are 1970s era travel numbers, and no airline can survive today on that. Without more money from Congress, this is ugly. Really ugly.
While all that is true, any airline CEO that’s talking at this point is just trying to pressure congress into another stimulus.

Yes, I know that’s the favorite conspiracy theory of the optimists right now, but it just doesn’t hold water. He’s making factual statements backed up by hard data.

I feel like that's just stating the obvious.

Here so I don’t get fined
Does this mean we get regulation back?

Which you consistently seem to rail against.

To be fair it’s a pretty rough concept for a pilot to accept. Doubly so when they keep dragging out the specter of unemployment with stimulus money.

Not really, I rail against your doomsday approach that travel is never coming back, we may never hire again, and half of the industry won't fly an airplane every again. You argue anything against this rhetoric is being ignorantly optimistic.

I haven't made those claims, but I would agree that they would be wrong if anyone actually did make them. Which I haven't seen anyone do.

Ask @Yakob. Either way - I know my fate. I've been interviewing hard the last 3-4 weeks and I am planning for a long furlough just in case. I'm taking this seriously. I'm staying hopeful I can get recalled in 2 or 3 years. But I'm definitely not in the blinded optimistic group. All my friends think I'm the mega negative one. Just happens thats like being mediocre and positive on online forums.
