Bet you a beer or two we stop hiring very soon until there's some type of stability in this crazy economy.
There is no "4% capacity cut". They said on the earnings call that 2% of "domestic narrowbody flying" will be removed. It won't even be noticeable. Also this doesn't include the fact that we are adding Saigon and Bangkok plus whatever new 787 routes we add between now and the fall.
On that note, another new 787 was delivered today. 6 more coming before the end of the year.
The machine is going to keep chugging along.
