Back to the original topic, another 6 months of support would be huge in getting us through the entire summer of vaccine distribution & growing travel demand, greatly increasing the likelihood that we’ll be at (or least very near) the 70% target by the time we revert to the pandemic LOA.

It it will also create an interesting market for competition- essentially providing an entire summer season with little to no risk of financial loss. Airlines that use this opportunity to make bold steps could potentially put themselves in a very strong position for the post-pandemic market, while those who “hunker down” & prepare for the approaching winter could find themselves left behind.

Lets hope UAL capitalizes on this moment with an aggressive growth strategy rather than getting stuck in a survival mindset.
