I think in a 45 flights a day slow down , they could support flying to 96 stations , and keep in mind , international stations are excluded. I’m sure some routes will have higher yields than others , but they’ll probably ask for specific route exemptions like the Greensboro’s Richmond’s , and Asheville’s etc. If the service requirements are the main concern, I’d bet they take the money
Sure hope so. Its absolutely dumb to ask airlines to continue to operate empty. If the goal is to preserve jobs, how does one do that when they are burning money up elsewhere. I believe the intentions were good, but written hastefully with little knowledge as to how much airline loads would actually be affected.
That being said, I hope they are able to take the money, preserve our incomes for a period to come, and on the other side of this we come out and go back to growing as an airline.
