Mike,
Mr. Parker stated he expected 10% fewer seats overall. The two, well, three companies have 800+ aircraft between them. There are a lot of routes that overlap, especially on the shuttle. They are going make one huge shuttle and sell the excess. Yes, they are recalling now, but that means less hiring in the future. I don't know if 10% fewer seats equates to
10% fewer aircraft ... I'm sure somebody smarter than me will come along and clarify. They also stated no furloughs, but we've heard that one before. Good luck, all.
