Don’t think anyone is saying JetBlue will come out on top. But, we are better positioned to survive longer than others. One advantage is we are relatively small (nimble) and can adapt to new revenue environment. Our recent route announcements are evidence to that. Ex: I think EWR, BDL was more a play to shift away from reliance on JFK with NY’s Covid rules, as well as the exodus of people out of the city.

As far as Govt help, If (Covid) continues long enough one of the high debt airlines will falter much sooner than B6. Maybe one more round of PSP help from Govt, but personally don’t think Congress can agree to get it done in the next 5 business days, not with Govt Shutdown and Supreme Court being higher priority. That will put a lot of pressure on the other big debt carriers and yes, we may even have to furlough in May. But we’ll be fine in long run. Or, maybe not
