I haven't flown since March so I admit my finger is not quite on the pulse of what is going on.

Where are you seeing these projections at? Ultimately, no one has any clue. Like the morons that claim we won’t be pre-Covid until 2024 or 2030 or not until 55 years from now. 🙄
Heres what I know. Every holiday weekend has been bigger and better than the one before. July 4th we hit 760k. Labor Day weekend was nearly 1 million coming in at 980k pax.
A lot of people feared/expected that September (after Labor Day) everything was going to nose dive hard with school resuming and summer being over. That hasn’t happened.
We are still holding well into the 700ks on weekends and improving Tues/Weds and Sat numbers Week over Week.
I just read 22 states are seeing increases in cases now. Yet again, pax numbers aren’t decreasing. This is a good sign.
We just dropped a ton of flying out of FLL in IOT for October. Restarted multiple International flights. I don’t think they are adding this much back on a hope and prayer type strategy.
Given the trend, Thanksgiving/Xmas season will absolutely be well over 1mill pax a day during those weekends.
