Just noticed in DC there is more open flying than we have rsv to cover for tomorrow. (fo) I know it’s the interface, but did they possibly let more people take leaves than they should have for the summer flying? How funny will thag be if they have to hire again or cancel this bid. I’ve heard plenty from the airways guys about they epically failed this exact thing w training. after 9/11. Hopefully they learn from their mistakes and don’t repeat what happened. Looks like prm back!!

They won’t have to hire just cancel the leaves with 30 days notice. If they have to do that it would be a great sign. I’d gladly get a VSTLOa cancelled because that would mean my job is largely safe.

That's a good # to start with. Anything else you are kidding
yourself.

Those pax coming "back" are also flying on insanely low ticket prices. Prices that will need to stay extremely low to entice the public to travel again. Only problem, with 21 million people out of work nobody has $ to travel. Proof is in the amount of Americans tapping into what little they have in a 401K

Your debt will kill you faster than any comeback might be possible.

Parker just stated on Wednesday 27th call when asked about bankruptcy "Bankruptcy is failure, and we're not going to do that" given that statement to the banks and investors that are betting on a bankruptcy. And Parkers past dealings. You are at least heading for a For Sale sign on the door.

WoW, they didn’t restrict you? We were restricted on all flights.

Yeah I was astonished. People weren't that upset about it either. Glad to see a load like that on the weekend no less.
