the Big-3 model depends on the business traveler for revenue. Corporate America, Federal Government, and others are cancelling meetings and conferences, and embracing web conferencing/etc.



ULCC/LCC are possibly better able to endure this storm.



My opinion


The problem isn’t flight loads now. It’s the demand in the upcoming months that has fallen off a cliff. No airline will be immune.
