A return to February 2019 flying levels does nothing for us if we are at 60% load factors. Pricing is the key. If we have to make up for 30% less revenue per flight we will need a super high premium to the market. This is a revenue problem. Taking down flying helps create scarcity and bring pricing power back after people start feeling OK to fly. This will be a long road and profits may be delayed years. With that said, I still think Delta is the place to be for the best chance to survive and thrive in the new environment. And, I still wholeheartedly support our profit sharing plan. As we return to profits, no negotiation necessary to participate in the success. I think we all believe negotiations on additional dollars is on hold for the foreseeable future. Any TA will have to be heavily loaded with QOL items to pass now and restart the 4 year clock. Very heavy.
