FBJ send me your picture so that I can "PhotoShop" "Roller Girl" out of the picture and insert your mug onto Dirk Diggler's jimi-jam; it will be my new avatar.

Pilots got to be just around the corner then. UPS is doing a company wide reduction of jobs. Why would the airline be off limits?

You are absolutely right. They are taking delivery of 20+ wide body jets over the next two years and retiring none. They are 200-500 pilots undermanned right now and retiring another 100. They can't train and hire enough pilots to fill the up coming vacancies.

Early outs and furloughs for pilots must be just around the corner.

80-80-80 you are an F*ing idiot.

They aren't getting rid of pilots. Just some supply chain folks.
