Things are indeed bad, but there are multiple vaccines on the way, lots of pent up travel demand, and JB has a business model that doesn't depend on high fare business travel. So this is likely a temporary problem, which doesn't necessitate a long term concession. I do know a group that leadership showered with hundreds of millions of dollars BC (before COVID), maybe they can ask Wall Street for concessions...

With all that said, I believe JB survives this and thrives. I also appreciate generally that the company hasn't used this as a way to try and scare this group into concessions overall. We'll see what this next AIP is about.
