-No agreements yet for more cargo 737's or pilots; but is "hopeful" and there is opportunity for more; will take time
-Doesn't know if EJet seating will be reduced
-Doesn't know when CA upgrades will begin again but believes YV fleet will grow in 2021 due to our CRJ 700's
-Are AA wholy-owns taking our flying? Not yet
-AA contract has not been extended yet but confident AA wants us to stay in family due to "our low cost structure"
-Spacejet delayed by manufacturer until "distant future"
-No plans to retire the CRJ 900
-Exploring possibilities for CRJ 200's and large turboprops for cargo
-Our flying is down 50%; business travel is down 88%
-72 Covid19 cases at Mesa; 8 currently; one fatality
-Goal is to avoid furloughs; FA's won't be furloughed ( 500 have taken VLOA); 150 pilots have taken VLOA; allegedly, ALPA has proposed some kind of multi-tiered reduction in hours plan where guys in middle get reduced guarantee and bottom seniority pilots get even less guarantee; this will "probably" negate the need for CA downgrades; any pilot who leaves still has to pay bonus back
-AA future- flying will wind down for 2021-2022 but extension is expected due to "our low cost structure"
-UA future- Good future. Kirby and JO are pals. 550 plan could happen with our 20 CRJ700's. And UA loves us because of our...."low cost structure"
-Possible agreements by end of 2021 with other carriers
-Cargo operations start in 2 weeks
- That day we had 40 cancellations due to computer failure was due to AT&T and we're changing carriers
-Remembrance for Andy Hughes, the former MEC for OUR union, who was another great friend of JO for 20 years....
When will the 700s be parked? Are they parking them already?
