I don’t think that people should expect things to be back where they were for several years, at the regional or legacy airlines. My guess is that United is 20-30% smaller than 2019 levels by the end of next year. They could easily furlough the 2,000 pilots allowed by the LOA and then hold there. UAX flying will have to remain below United NB on a month to month basis. United could end up retiring the 757 fleet and replace that with the max order. The future of the 50 seat fleet is still far from safe. Those things are getting older and they get the bulk of the negative customer reviews. I could see a situation where a 50 seat fleet is retired and another regional is cut. It’s out of our control, but it’s far from over. Things will eventually recover to previous levels, but I think that Covid will redefine what “normal” is.
