They built June block hours in April, underestimated, and have upguaged and added segments until they discovered a supply chain bottle neck.
If they are building August block hours right now they are speculating demand. Will demand curve accelerate or shallow out. Do you have facts that show under estimating is more costly than overestimating.
Did they call and say they thought they were being aggressive building June block hours because everyone was saying in April the CDC jumped the gun and was irresponsible for saying you could ditch the mask indoors.
They had 45B is gross revenue in 2019, 17B in 2020. Its reasonably difficult to guess where 2021 revenue will be.
