In addition to furloughs and employees leaving, I see that Southwest is cutting pay to make ends meet. How are other airlines coping with the current state of affairs?

The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

Mostly by standing in front of the financial ruin train and pleading for congress to come save them.
No involuntary furloughs at SWA, not yet at least. We'll see.
Slight correction, they are asking their unions to take concessions. While they can unilaterally furlough, they can't unilaterally cut contractual pay.
Non-union employees are set to get the 10% cut Jan 1st
Everyone needs to chill the fuck out! Ugh!

Mask or no mask, it’s not a good idea to hit people.

Wow as an outsider looking in this reads like a huge deal. Nice to see the union and management looking out for each other - congrats Delta. And its nice to see an airline showing loyalty to its workforce.

Hahahahahahaha.
There's no such thing as loyalty to a workgroup, only to shareholders. Ed Bastian was calling the union the most disagreeable people he's ever had the misfortune of interacting with just a few weeks ago. He's still got a force majeure clause in his pocket he can always use if he needs it.
oh I'm not saying this isn't a great deal for guys who otherwise would be on the street, but to act like this was done out of the goodness of anyone's heart is naive.
Mother D avoids a lot of very expensive training waterfall events, displacements and associated moves of guys coming back off furloughs, and has a ton more flexibility to add pilots and flights back piecemeal as traffic picks up.
The bottom of the seniority list keeps bennies and some pay. It was a mutually beneficial business decision...to infer any more would be inaccurate.
True that. The very definition of a good deal in business. But there absolutley is such a thing as goodwill in dealing with labor, customers and rivals. If the Delta deal were some boiler plate no brainer for both sides then every airline would do the same. But they haven't. In part that is because goodwill on both the sides of labor and managment is different at every company.
