Will the coronavirus and crashing of the economy potentially change their minds on opening a SEA base? Just leave things status quo until the MAX is flying again and a fleet decision is announced?

I was wondering the same today. |
It's gonna cost them a lot of money.
Why not just leave things status quo? Keep building these pairings out of SFO and LAX, pretty much everyone overnights in SEA/PDX. The only downside is no immediate 2 hr callout reserve coverage in SEA. That hurts them. OTOH what's the cost for those kinds of SEA Airbus cancellations, VERSUS: the numerous training costs of SEA Boeing to Airbus, displacement training costs Airbus to Boeing, moving costs, new base costs, etc? I would think at this point with the economy crashing, virus fears abound, and stock tanking, that the #1 goal should be to preserve costs and save money. MEA25000? What says you |

With regards to the virus situation, we should be concerned, but not fearful and certainly not irrationally so.... In the big scheme of thing, this Corona virus is no different from others that have popped up before, except for the excessive media hype (BTW, I'm not saying it's a hoax, because it's not!) about the pending apocalypse because of it. Except, China's rates of occurence has already peaked in the face of an aggressive albeit belated response by their govt, which proves that it really no different from any other outbreaks...i.e It too shall pass.... As for stocks, they've been long overvalued and were due for a correction anyway.... Take some profits off the table, look for some really great buying opportunities down the road, wash, rinse and repeat. "Be fearful when they are greedy, and greedy when they are fearful" - Warren Buffett My hope is that we'll be over this in a month or so, so that it doesn't give the company an excuse to claim that an economic downturn is preventing them from agreeing to a comprehensive contract improvement in this round of negotiations. |
