We can only hope. But, the one thing that concerns me is passenger demand. Back in March, I thought demand would return by the fall/winter. So, the federal stimulus helped the airlines with a 6-month lifeline. Demand is still down, more than 60%. 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.

Isom is on the record saying they’d figure out a way to get people paid if relief money comes, even if the deadline is missed. We are already paying people not to work with mostly government money, what’s one more month? I dunno, everyone gets a VSTLOA for October vs furlough or ZTL...?
