My take was the Max was down, the mechanics were doing their work slow down, and they were retiring the MD-80s, and Delta has JV revenue that is larger than AA’s.

Delta did furlough, I believe over 1,000 received no award on a displacement notice; their union negotiated 35 hours at 717 FO pay. The cares act bumped them up to full time pay. They were not qualified on any Delta equipment.

Vasu doesn’t operate in a vacuum, CASM includes the relevant cost for him to use. His department doesn’t produce a ROI for furloughs for the various labor groups. If anything the APA is responsible for ensuring that furloughs are costly tilting any ROI spreadsheet in their favor.

IF United didn’t furlough its because their contract, ratio of domestic/international titled the ROI of a furlough in the pilots favor. Has little bearing on Kirby's foresight vs Parker on when this would end.

AA parked 4 fleet types, and claims they knocked 1B in overhead off of 2019 volume.

I don’t have any numbers yet but I believe the June cancels are due to AA scheduling more block hours than Delta or United.

I highly doubt Delta or United could park 4 fleets and only suffer 3% capacity for 30-60 days.
