I think it’s a very real possibility that we at Spirit see furloughs but I also don’t think this downturn will last nearly as long as 911. During the 911 downturn people were scared of flying and traveling and we were at war.

People aren’t scared of flying today. We aren’t in a major wartime conflict. People are just scared of this virus and are heeding the CDC’s advice to stay home. Once the virus peaks or a vaccine/cure comes out and people are back at work I’m pretty sure they’ll want to go on their vacations again. Who knows we may actually see a surge since people are sick of sitting around at home. Business travel and international travel may take a little longer to return than domestic vacationers. Who knows if this peaks in a couple months and tapers off they may be able to make some money with last minute vacationers trying to squeeze in their summer vacations.
