I would think.

You say from what you believe more will be furloughed if hours dont increase in May....... What led you to believe that?

I fully expect to fly 60-70% of whatever I am awarded and more cuts to come in May if Trump doesn't call for a more rational approach (isolate those at risk, i.e. 60yo+ and let everyone else get back to work) by mid-April at the absolute latest.
We will need a different strategy than what you are suggesting.

Conjecture that makes sence though!

Had everyone taken this seriously early on (really only 2 weeks ago) we could have drastically slowed the spread. Slow spread less economic impact. Maybe the airlines would be doing better today, maybe. But that is of course conjecture.
