Does any airline have a plan? There are so many variables and unknowns, it's impossible to know what the economy and travel environment will look like next summer. You can make guesses, but you can't make an educated guess. Will there be a vaccine? If there is a vaccine will it be effective and available? 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.

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.

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.
