I don't believe anyone has anything other than a barely educated guess how this plays out. They can possibly survey for corporate/traveler intentions but with all of the variables how accurate will that be?

You give management or anyone who thinks they can predict this way too much credit. We and every other airline is blundering our way through one day at a time as best as possible. All they really know for sure is that if Cares 2 get approved we will be carrying a huge surplus of Pilots for some time. Best case, due to a confluence of events demand picks up before Cares 2 expires.
