Will the mortality rate rise or fall as the numbers of known cases of covid 19 explode in the United States? Will the Europeans allow US citizens into there countries? Will the virus mutate? What percentage of people will avoid flying until there's a vaccine? How many more bailouts will the tax payers allow?
Nobody knows the answers to those questions. The only rational actions an airline can take right now are controlling costs, preserving cash reserves, and remaining flexible. |
What's that famous quote? I think I saw it on matching plaques in both of B&B's office: "the time to sell is when there's blood in the streets." I say we just retreat back to our safe space in Seattle.

From what I've read I think the argument can be said that it is better to be Alaska in LA than JetBlue in LA.

Alaska is clapping back

Looks like the 3:1 ratio on SkyWest and QX flying compared to mainline continues.... I'm not super thrilled about that. At least out of the 12 new routes, 4 were on mainline. I guess we are lucky the 175 can't reach Hawaii. Or Tampa from LAX.

New city pairs but certainly not new flying...Some other city pairs will go away or never come back. For Alaska Airlines mainline that is...

Day late. Dollar short. Going back only about a year and reading the comments about negotiating for scope does make interesting reading though. |
