It is shrinking, but honestly nobody at the pilot level has any clue what’s going to happen. It’s not easy to get us out to Asia, and it’s going to cost a fortune to buy us DHs out here. Not to mention it’s a major PIA to deal with any Asia IROPS from crews in OAK.

More importantly, FDX has come this far with HKG... If they decided to close it next week, it would take a really long time to wind down. By the time they did, COVID would be long gone and everything will more or less be normal. Kind of a stupid time to limit our ops in Asia.

The upcoming situation with temporary SFO relocation will be a good test of what works I guess!
