Dodged the question of how we will get bookings if we don’t offer any flight schedule, while our competitors do.
Please,SK offer me early out like AA.
You and I must have been listening to different town halls. He did not dodge the question on bookings or the flight schedule. He said the planned schedule from earlier this year is still in the system and bookable for 330 days out. It's only as we get closer and have to make schedule/bidding determinations do they cancel on a rolling 30-day basis. Close-in bookings are what create a vacuum right now as trying to book anything after a reduced schedule load shows 2-3 connections to get places.
What torqued me was the "fluff" stuff at the beginning of the event. I fully appreciate, respect and recognize every pilot doing stuff in our communities right now during this pandemic. They deserve recognition, but I thought that could have been left to Bryan's flight operations update published on the iPad instead of taking valuable time away from pressing matters.
