Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun resigning

United has more 737s on order than Southwest. United has over 200 787s on order.

If United walks - it will be catastrophic for Boeing.

More bad news I guess.

Nah - no worries. It’s a management tool. Flying is down a bit next month. It’ll pick back up.

Many of us enjoy not working now and then, this keeps the pay for the guys who do want/need to work at more normal levels.

Come June, we will be back to “all hands on deck” for the summer travel schedule.

Personally, I think the option of taking the month off with full benefits is great.

If they do it next March, maybe I’ll spend a couple weeks at Alta trying to keep up with @Sam_Julier
