DL has a very different network and their modeling will be drastically different than a carrier like B6. It is generally thought that widebody intl and domestic business will be the two segments that lag in the recovery vs leisure and VFR on the front end of the recovery. A carrier like B6 is better positioned to capitalize on leisure/VFR.

We will certainly see some pain with losing business travel in BOS, but our recovery trajectory will look very different from DL’s.
