The fact of the matter is, nobody, not even an airline CEO should play Nostradamus with “predictions”. We live in an era where last month was completely different from this month, and next month may bring better news (or worse). There is no way Gary Kelly can predict 5-10 years aside from a crapshoot.
The only way I see us preventing furloughs has very little to do with the NC and everything to do with congress extending the CARES act and bailout funds for the airlines an addtl. 6 months, hoping that by March 2021 things start picking back up after a vaccine comes out (hopefully) by the end of the year or shortly thereafter.
