Furlough Estimates

[NickH]

I’m all for the right to bear arms. With that said I still cannot understand why these protesters needed to bring firearms let alone assault rifles to a rally. What am I missing?

It seems like, the more guns there are, the more peaceful the protest is...

Must be nice. You know damned well if you, @KLB and I tried to pull sone sh— like that off, it wouldn’t be a “Yeah, MERKA” moment and would end up with death.

Imagine a bunch of Somali immigrants toting AKs and protesting for safer working conditions in the meat packing plant. I’m sure they’d be treated just the same as the flu klutz klan.

MealTeam Six. SO hungry!

You are correct.

Hell, you can’t even have a toy gun in America if you’re from certain backgrounds.

There’s quite a big difference between a peaceful armed protest at a state government site for constitutional violations. That is NOT the same as protesting armed at your own workplace because you don’t like the pay and working conditions. That’s voluntary. Don’t like your job? Get your union to do something, volunteer, etc, or Quit. Stay at home orders and shutdowns are not voluntary. Big difference. It’s not the same thing.

ExpressJet furloughed their trainees looks like. Sucks.

And if they marched on the state capital because they wanted to gather for a Muslim festival? You really think that would go over well?

Lets take it to the Lav. This thread for furloughs isn’t appropriate. I apologize for the derail.

PSA is parking the remaining 19 CRJ200s. Coincides with DCA shutting down operations at the world. End of an era for both.

PSA now has 2000+ pilots and less than 130 airplanes. Unless something changes before the fall, I think we all know what will happen.

Some people just aren’t capable of even imagining the possibility of analyzing a situation dispassionately without allowing emotions to get involved.

This is the part where I mention the word compartmentalize. And then state how easy this is for sociopaths to do sans emotion.

I can’t buy daffodil seeds in Frankenmuth!

Yeah, but what if it WASN’T snowing and cold as hell?

It was literally snowing last week. We've been dealing with fifth winter.

Bro, bro... so glad that, that is finally over here. Thoughts and prayers.

I suspect it would have gone about exactly as this did.

Along those lines.....The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in Mpls has started broadcasting the call to prayer. If you know the area you can see why. Really hasnt been much of an issue.

Why are you talking about furloughs in the JC “I’m the only one who understands science and is morally superior” thread?

130 total by math on other forums. But some are parked, in MX, etc.

I'm responding to Jtrain because I don't want to point my finger at any individuals (and he knows that I know he's a hack anyway) but...

All the ALPA carriers (and I'd guess the bigger non affiliated unions like APA and SWAPA) have made counseling services available to their pilots. Understand the difference between the options offered by the company to all employees and the ones offered specifically by the union and then go talk to somebody. This is a stressful time, whether it's your first aviation industry downturn or your 4th, there is no shame in getting a little emotional help.

We are all in the seat we are currently in due to our choices, planning and luck (and according to some of the guys I fly with the color of our skin and the size of our boobs... but I digress). There is nothing we can do about where we are right now. All we can do is prepare for what might happen going forward.

You're going to be fine.

This is like Animal Farm. Some will be more fine than others.

It appears United is the first one to blink (of the mainline/legacies)
