They're probably torn between the agony of paying pilots to stay home and the very real possibility of SWA (or maybe even ULCC) swooping in and eating their lunch during a recovery. Nobody knows how quickly or steeply a recovery might occur. My guess is that any airline which can actually afford to will wait a few months and see how the vaccine thing plays out. Somewhat a game of chicken right now.
