I think they are scrambling to figure out how the airline survives this with the strength to compete for scarce passengers when demand slowly starts to pick back up. If someone has the bandwidth to think about it, they will probably try to use this as a chance to go single fleet, but that's next months problem, and we have to get through next week first.

Hahahaha. Hahah. Hahahahaha.

*cough, cough cough

Hahahahaha hahahahaha haha!!!!!!!

What news came out today on fleet reduction etc ?

I watched the video. Not much new. Just a reemphasis on a 70% reduction. No actual numbers on fleet.

There's an article on AlaskasWorld that outlines the reduction more succinctly. Mainline reduction is only about 55% (ish) as I recall. The rest is Horizon/SkyWest.

couldn't find one. Can you tell us where it is in Alaska’s world. Tx

BCP call said about 50 parked by the end of the month. 100 more by 4/13 for a total of 152 parked. That leaves us with 87 still flying.

87 x 12 = 1044 which mean cutting 2/3 of the pilots.... unless I’m missing something

Thats just for April and May... Hoping to be bringing planes back out starting mid June. Maybe 2x that number flying by August... That’s a big Maybe

Yeah, they have to try to lead turn this... plan to staff for where they *think* things will settle out later in the year.

If they cut too many, they might lose market share in a big land grab if DL or SW manages to be prepared to swoop in (DL unlikely, they'll be lucky not to liquidate... SW is a more plausible threat).
