My thought......United will furlough and it will decimate the NB ranks. These displacements are necessary to fill that void. I really don’t think that Kirby is going to sit around and watch as we get rolled by SW in the domestic market.....and right now they are cleaning up while we putter along. Kirby can’t announce a larger domestic schedule AND furlough until we have enough pilots in place. I expect there will be a fairy robust domestic schedule through the fall and winter with something normalized by 2021 summer.
if we continue limping along in the domestic market like we are today the LCC are going to kill us. We need to have some sort of a descent schedule that connects the corners and everything in between of this country or we will lose market share.
