Reference was the May 22 update from BB himself. I’ll go back and look and see if there was a QRP since that memo, but I don’t believe so. He was pretty clear about the 14 and 6 not happening this year at least. He also stated “hopefully” by summer 2021 “we will be able to recover most of this flying”. Point being, not good in short term (ie, a year out) for complete recovery to previous plans and hence the ensuing need for less pilots than previously planned, unfortunately.
(And yes. I know this situation and corporate statements are as fluid as the day after a bad night at Taco Hell!)
