All this speculation is great fun, but even if we recover by the spring, the airline will be very different. We haven't seen an airline like what we will have--ever, maybe not since we gave up the original scope with the RJ's.
My point being, with the LOA, the changes in scope will drastically change who is flying the smaller markets. A lot more flying will come back to mainline, if the small stuff recovers. The Express carriers will be hit hard, especially while we try to recover being a smaller airline. There won't be new jobs for a long time. Which also means, the lower PBS awards will be with us for quite a while. Budget accordingly.
