Its already obvious... the big 4 need a load factor of 73-78% just to break even on a flight... frontier and spirit will probably end up doing well but at this point and at the rate things are going, everyone is looking at “not being the same size” come October 1... everything depends on when and if people decide they wanna go flying again... no airline wants to put pilots on the street, but I think that’s especially true of frontier and spirit... they wanna get going asap
