Vasu has been asked about just putting wide bodies on big domestic routes, and he said that the costs are almost always too high. He said Mia-Lax works because of the type of customer that frequents that route.
We were already a very seasonal international airline, more so than our competitors. I have no evidence of this, but I think another move could be to close the 777 fleet, and just grow intl as the new 787s come in. That would be the most drastic measure, but could realign the company with the new look of long haul demand.

Yeah since our numbers are rising we are really in need an effective treatment of vaccine. That said our heavy flying was already baked in to be shot until next summer so we have sometime.
