No more pilot shortage in the US military. Military pilots are no longer retiring early since jobs are scarce.
However, it has so far prevented the total collapse of the US airline industry. However, they were banking on this being over by August. As you all know, it won't be.
The airlines want another $32 Billion.
Airline workers are asking Congress for another $32 billion bailout
At a time when 60% of restaurants, 50% of bars, and around 45% of small businesses in the US may never open again, I don't know if a second bailout will pass and be signed, even with key lawmakers supporting it. As it was said by one airline pilot on the forums, it's hard for the public to believe its justified paying the high salaries of airline workers when they are losing their homes.
As they say, buckle up.
I haven’t heard of 95% of these smaller operations. The big one that stands out is Avianca in Colombia, founded in 1919.
We used to fly Flybe from Malaga, Spain to Norwich, UK all the time. It had already cancelled all flights to and from Norwich well before the pandemic and was effectively bankrupt. Putting Flybe on that list is like saying the guy who died in the motorcycle accident was a Covid-19 death, utterly bogus.
I love hunting for cheap fares to exotic destinations.Something tells me that they’re a think of the past now.
Good, Pixley Air is still flying.
Air Canada bleeds 20 million dollars a day. And with new surges in COVID they cannot fill their airplanes up. They will be on the verge of bankruptcy.
one thing about it: the airplanes, airports and pilots aren’t going away; what has really been lost is shareholder equity and bondholder debt ... when the need arises, brand new airline companies will arise from the ashes ...
