I still don’t understand why people compare this to past furloughs. 9/11 was a sudden unexpected event that they had to react to immediately, while still flying a 50-60%+ schedule. Apples to oranges compared to now. The CARES act provided them a heads up to do this as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Numbers are wrong. 30% july, 40% for August. None of this accounts for the 600 cargo flights a month that are going on.
