Prepare for the bad news and furloughs
It’s more like 75%-80% cut. You’re assuming we have to serve those “routes” which is not the case, however we just need to serve hose stations 3 times a week. Which is similar to our May’s schedule. We just need to do 3 flight per week to that station. For example we do LAS-BOS 7 days a week. We can still drop that route and serve BOS from FLL. The issues is places like Plattsburgh that only see 7 flight per week, and we have to do 3. Here’s a few examples of the stations that we don’t serve now, but what we did per week: MSP-81, IND-28, DEN-84. We only need 3 Flights to these places. The cuts are much higher than you think even if we have to start those stations back up. Here is the final ruling from the DOT which shows who operate to each cities by airlines.
