Second, what goal would you rather airlines set? We all have goals to zero bleed, then gradual pickup to 2019-early 2020 numbers. But if you want less than that, there are dying airlines that may reach your subpar goal.
He actually makes a really good point about comparing this year to a record year. I don’t think any of us are privy to the exact numbers needed, but we do need to keep 2 things in mind in my opinion. The first is that each airline has a number of passengers needed to meet their targeted configuration (staffing to match loads). The second is that while we continue to try to pick ourselves up, we are indeed effected by the international market. More specifically, if other nations continue to deny US citizens entry or extended quarantine, then we’re going to see a lot of challenge to growth.
