I don’t know what they favor, but when Kirby talked about United fleet retirements he went back and forth from best case to worse case. When he threw in the comment on the 50 seat flying, it sounded like they have made a decision that regardless, it will be “a thing of the past”. I would think that when the big boss says something like that, it shouldn’t be considered spoken out of context, that’s only worst case, etc. I think that he meant it. The question is when. Will it come early or late in the recovery, somewhere in the middle, or will they change their mind? It’s a guessing game at this point.
