The Airlines are dying

why is it ok for a business to run itself in a way that missing a few weeks of income completely bankrupts it and destroys the entire economy and they get bailed out and everyone says they need it, but if a person lived paycheck to paycheck and loses their job then its their fault?

Fuck off, what makes you an expert?You're assuming most of us would start over at the bottom at some dying startup. So much for the gray haired old guy who's been flying for 30 years and won't fuck up.

Trump has an airline. We're gonna be fine, boyz.

They are getting bailed out, dummy. It’s already happening

How can you plan for a several month stop while also having $100 million a day of overhead?
Fuck the stock buybacks, but this is bigger than anything ever.

maybe that 30 odd billion they used to buy back stock to stuff their coffers was a poor idea? should've used it for a rainy day fund.. not lining their kike jew board members pockets with higher stock prices and huge dividends.

I work for American.

Please send help.

>tfw when your 5 weeks into a 10 month accelerated flight training program and you’ve already paid the $80k tuition

I’m pretty fucked.

Drumf will give them money. If he's based he'll nationalize them.

no fuck you and your shitty airline

I agree 100%, it's disgusting, and there is going to be a reckoning, but right now it's desperation and lots of good people are going to lose their jobs.
Hey MX, there is an ELAC that's giving me trouble.

You’re * oops

>the company should have kept several months worth of cash laying around to cover this thing that's never happened before.
Spoken like a true wagie

You aren't, you're going to be set up and ready to get hired at the beginning of the next wave.

Na senpai, we needed pilots before this virus and we'll need pilots after. My company was giving a $10,000 bonus to any employee who successfully referred a pilot.

Aviation employee here. Mayday mayday mayday! Skyking predicted this.

He was too pure for this world.

Well that's over user.

Inb4 UberAir

so i guess you feel really bad for all the people who arent working right now and cant afford food or rent. how much are you donating?

should have just done microsoft flight simulator like sky king

Delta isn’t going anywhere, Warren will see to that.

When a business fails, then the secured creditors takeover the business and all of its assets.
Neck yourself faggot.

I’m hoping you anons are right, but honestly I’ve already started and there’s no going back so there’s nothing I can do other than plow ahead.

>Two months from now there won't be a single US Airline around that isn't in Chapter 11.
Yes... indeed!

I dont ride on planes

airline pilot here for one of the big 3
AMA

Tell me about how Pan Am survived after 1991.
Me too fag.

>disease and immigrant vectors are dying.
Is there a problem?

Two months from now there's going to be such an extreme economic crisis that it forces everything open even if people are dying left and right from the virus.

WHY DON'T THEY USE THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS
WITH THE BILLIONS IN THEM TO PROP THEIR
COMPANIES UP? ARE YOU TELLING ME THERE'S
NO SAVINGS IN ANY OF THESE COMPANIES FOR
THEM TO FALL BACK ONTO DURING HARD TIMES
TO HELP THEIR COUNTRY? TIME TO NATIONALIZE
THE AIRLINES.

noice lets party, because our birds are empty

the massive chain of resources sucked up from the ground, refined into usable materials and parts, and then largely not-recycled when the car gets trashed after 8-12 years or whatever, isn't sustainable.

How are your pax loads? Yesterday we had a flight going to LAX with a grand total of four passengers.

>birds
On the bright side I get to take my family on my next trip, it's going to be fun. Right up until I get to be a 20 year FO making $90/hr
I did a transcon yesterday with 15 people.

super shitty. my last flight had 7 people on it going to new york. 12 to detroit before that.

you regional or mainline?

Don't need an airport. Never will. Globalists are finally reaping what they sowed.

mainline A320 Captain.

what airline?

Source on these? Not doubting, curious.

$z-e-r-o.00

stonks will recover after some time, quit bitching Zhang

but you will donate to an airline instead. checkmate

You’re fine. I work for DL and they’re locking shut down and sending planes to VCV til the demand returns. The only thing you have to worry about is having like 30k more employees than us and you did way more stock buybacks.

What are you an FA?

>sitting in the back of the airplane between turns
probably an FA

flightaware.com, look at marana, victorville, and roswell. That's where the majors are parking their airplanes right now.
Not telling, but I live in a super senior hub and at 50% at the airline I'm on reserve as a narrowbody captain. I'm planning to get bumped out of my seat because of this.

suh spirit bro

He's MX, it's pretty obvious. Once a plane goes to VCV it's not coming back. Say goodbye to the mad dogs.

Good. We should all fuck off we're full and make our countries great again.

Light as fuck, like 10-20% on an a220

could be a cleaner. Some bucket or basket at the front of the airplane

>Hello? Yes.
>THIS IS CAPTIAN PUNTABI OF DELTA AIRRLINS
>WE WILL BE DEPARTIINA THE PORT OF AIR IN THDURDY MINOOTS ON DIS FINE WENSDAY AFTORNOON
>PLEASE BE UNDERSTANDING OF TURBULENCE AS WE TAKE OOF AND MIND YOUR SEXY SEX FLIGHTS ATTEND ANTS REGINA AND KATHY FROM CHICAGO AS THEY ARE DEMONSTRATING THE PROPER PROCEDURE FOR THE BUCKLING AND EAGXITING OF THE CRAFT IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES
>THANK YOU COME AGAIN :)

I wouldn't get caught dead in that yellow clown car.

I'm actually cross trained ground crew for both regional and mainline for Piedmont Airlines.

If there is any silver lining, if you are dumb enough to want to travel right now all the flights are nice and open.

nice, spirit bro

Other Airlines took over the market share, if any after Pan Am went under. The assets were sold and put in more efferent use.
Pieces of shit like you cry for government bail-outs and re-regulation (aka price fixing), because you are an idiot and a parasite.
KYS fuckhead.

Ew pinnacle? Endeavor is better than GJ at least.

>efferent
*efficient

Nah, mx has the plane all to themselves overnight. You'd see cleaners or pax if it were from a flight attendant.
I'm at one of the big three. Took me 18 years to hold Captain.
Dad worked for Pan Am. I never did. No one took over for them, the airlines were depressed until like 1996.

it's a great time to nonrev, but I enjoy my health

>say goodbye to the mad dog
Good. They fucking suck and it’s all boomers flying them plus they wake me up when they fly over my house. Idk why they bought those shitty 717s either.

>all the airlines will be nationalized
oh woe

Unless you want to go to Europe, South America, Canada or Asia since we pulled all of those flights tonight.

Why do these companies exist on a knifes edge at all times? How are they even profitable if this is all it takes for it to go tits up? Why do they not set money aside for hard times?

WHY CANT THE AIR LINES SAVE FOR ONE MONTH OF THEIR RENT?
WHY CANT THEY TAKE CHUCK SHUMERS LOW INTEREST LOANS?

see
we were both wrong

>one of the big 3
so American, United or Delta. Was that really that hard to say? That is, if I believe you, which I don't. You're at Spirit.

>dad
Dad was never an airline pilot? He worked in the government.

of course they'll be back moron, you think all those assets are going to just vanish?

they'll be liquidated and then someone with a lot of cash (buffet) will step in, buy them, and become even more rich

can't wait for our new single airline

Trump has hotels too, bailout for everyone!

TSA and X-RAYS and taking my shoes off and getting fingered
yeah I don't care fuck airports

my airline is still flying to Canada

Because the overhead is 100Mil a day? How can you plan on being grounded indefinitely when it's nearly $400Mil a month just to stay in business?

Good, they’ve been using 50 year old technology. Fuck them.

You should all just fly your planes into Beijing’s skyacrapers

I actually just got done cleaning, it's a RON. I do cleaning, ramp, ticket counter, BSO, and I'm a GSC. All for both mainline and regional.

How are those flights profitable

many of those 'assets' aren't even owned by the airlines. Many airplanes, if not most, are leased from a different company.

This also keep foreigners out and virums fuck em

Mine isn't as of 4/1
I'm not at Spirit, do they have an 18 year upgrade?

Businesses like this provide a lot of jobs and pay taxes.

they're going to bail out the airlines, in fact the entire economy will need to be bailed out.

oh shit I should demand a blowjob from the spirit pilot for being right

Billions on stock buybacks

we will get more local business it will be better for everyone

then tell me what airline you're with, and how fucking old are you if what youre saying is true? lol

United airline made 2.1 billion a year.
Its been in business since 1926. They could easily have an emergency fund of several billion by putting a way a small portion once a month.

They didn’t even turn the APU on for you? Ruuuuude.

private jet taxis are gonna be the wave of the future where they take off from smol airports

is that a Delta bird?

So you're at a small station. Nice to know some of my coworkers are Yas Forumstards. I have 7000 hours staring at that picture lol.

i want to live in a world where the only available transportation is your legs. weed out the weak, bring back a sense of adventure and exploration.

ground power is connected.

I'm in my 40s. Got hired at my major after 9/11, but was in my 20s when I got hired.

NIGGERS DESERVE IT

I think it was a bit more than 30 billion user.

On the glareshield there is a pocket that has the checklist in it. They did the terminating checklist if they left it overnight in a small station. It kills everything in the cockpit and if the GPU dies it kills the plane instead of the plane's battery.

what airline do you work for? You had no problem calling out Delta on me. Are you that big of a dick?

Yeah, I am. I'm definitely not at American or Delta.

I know bro I'm an airline pilot. You can have everything off, but with ground power connected, the airplane still has power for cleaning and servicing when the crew isn't there. I'm ASSUMING that's the configuration your airplane is in, since there's power yet the flight deck doesn't have power

Nice, spirit bro.

Those niggers need to re-issue the stock they bought back. No bailouts.

i have not flown in over 30 years and i see no reason we need to be moving around so quickly all the time anyway.

wtf are those military style 747s??

I wish, the jew government will probably bail them out instead of letting their cancerous businesses die

>if any
Learn how to read

Agreed, they should just crash their planes into chicomshit buildings

JESUS CHRIST GET ON THE STICK
ROLL ROLL

The stupid motherfuckers doing nothing about the airlines should be held accountable as much as the Chinese themselves.

bailing out wrt to aircraft is not a good thing, fucking retard

I believe it's called the ground service bus on the 737. There's a switch on the FA panel over the front jumpseat to power it on. I'm not on the 737 and haven't been for 10 years, but that's the switch powering everything.
Why are you so convinced I'm at Spirit? I'm not.

Train travel should benefit.

This is whats called a capitalist crisis in marxist theory. Competition drives the profits into the negative and everything collapses.

Competition naturally tends to lead to monopoly or crisis

United flys a320s bby

Vroom vroom start er’up
