Just from looking at the various earnings reports (JetBlue, Allegient, Frontier, etc...) everyone seems to be losing money or just barely breaking even. I'm anticipating another furlough in February, more A320 CEO sales, etc...

Is there an airline that has gone through something similar to this that can be used as like a reference for what's going on now? And yes apps are out.
I'm just taking wild guesses here as a result. So my wild guess is CH 11 and in the spring they are going to sell another round of aircraft in an attempt to right size the airline and do another 300-400 furloaghs on top of the hundresds of Captains that are leaving for the legacies and just waiting on class dates.
