Lastly, and I’ll finish with this, I believe the plan accounts for recessions. I’m 1000% positive that they saw a down swing coming at some point and planned for it.l just like we did (or should have done). Whether it was having billions in the bank (something like $14-$16 billion) to weather the storm or growing in certain markets because competitors pulled out, I think we’re gonna be better than we went into this mess.
As always, anything can happen, but I feel like we have one of the most competent management teams out there. Fingers crossed though!
If massive cuts come then the costs outway the savings. United next may have planned for a downturn it didnt plan for a world wide trade war. When people stop traveling for vacation Orlando gets pummeled. Usually its a sector, not the entire world. Unless something gets fixed very soon I would plan for very bad times ahead for the airlines . Delta is already 5 steps ahead as usual.
Back to original point. I dont think MCO is closing either, but it has a better chance of that then becoming an Intl hub. That was my entire point.
