MAYBE we’ll see profit from a few by the end of 2021, maybe. The only CEO who believes in a quick recovery is DP, which is extremely unlikely.
Doug’s been blowing a lot of smoke lately so I wouldn’t take his words to seriously.

Doesn't matter if they burn less cash. It's a commodity market. If AA guts all their labor contracts in a bankruptcy court, UA and DL will be unable to compete with their old rates.
Any decent accountant can engineer a bankruptcy.
