RevHeadKurt,
Does this mean they are not doing temporary layoffs, but permanent cuts? Or are the airlines just shutting down? That really sucks if it is what is going on. Financial gurus instruct us to have 3-6 months emergency funds available, but this is taking longer than 6 months. And when it’s under control, people are going to be traveling again and your skills will be needed. So how are you at crop dusting?
The local Hyvee has a pick your pack from craft brew varieties.
I’d send a 6 pack and a sympathy card if I thought 90-100+ degree weather and the delivery drivers would not ruin it on the way.
It's a bloodbath. They are cutting the airline by a 1/3rd. We have already sent 72 airplanes out to be turned into Mountain Dew cans. Looks like I'm senior enough to make it though, so no sympathy for me is necessary. I'll be at the bottom of the barrel for the next 3 years, and there is a possibility I'll have to go back to Detroit, but I'll have a job. Delta is by far the strongest financially, and will survive. We have really sharp financial people at Delta. The date of a vaccine or whatever is not the issue, it's the crushing recession that follows. They are projecting a recession on par with the 2007 recession that is going to last through 2022, and air travel won't reach pre-Rona levels until 2023. These people really know what they are talking about, and I am very confident that their projections are very much based in solid fact based speculation.
