The “30-40%” plateau since Labor Day is pretty amazing to see graphically. The 2020 curve mirrors 2019 almost exactly, minus 60-70%. Makes you wonder who comprises that deficit. My guess is that 10-15% was “very discretionary” travel that won’t return for a decade (recovery after a post-CARES recession/depression).

We’ll be “fully recovered” as a group once we get back to 12,500 active pilots on the seniority list.
I agree. Insightful you addressed the curve. It is a mirror curve to last year only shifted down on the y-axis as you describe. Thanks for the info.
