By October hopefully things will not still be in free fall and they can slowly put the pieces back together. XJT, like every other airline, will have an idea of staffing demands and can therefore have a better idea of how many people to furlough, and how many aircraft to either put into storage or retire. We’re all going to come out of this smaller.
