United cuts: Things to look out for
1) Mainline vs Express: What percentage of each gets cut from domestic capacity.
2) How much flying gets shifted to 70-76 seaters.
3) Stock buybacks. Any announcement on reductions there?
4). Dividend payouts. Same as 3.
5) Management bonuses and pay raises. They announced temporary freezes, but they always get paid. When do they get their money?
6) Does Oscar stay on to get United through the crisis?
7) JetBlue announced a 5% reduction. Lufthansa cut about 20%. What about American, Delta and Southwest?
