Thats just simple math. Nobody can hold their breath forever. Serious question though. Can an airline operate at 35 percent and not file chapter 7?

Majors - one will go chapter 7 and then the other two will have room to breathe

If the feds come up with CARES II, will it really make a difference if demand doesn't return by spring/summer? I don't think any airline can operate 33-35% of their flights and keep 100% of their employees---even SWA or B6 or DAL. Good luck to us all.
