Its already obvious... the big 4 need a load factor of 73-78% just to break even on a flight... frontier and spirit will probably end up doing well but at this point and at the rate things are going, everyone is looking at “not being the same size” come October 1... everything depends on when and if people decide they wanna go flying again... no airline wants to put pilots on the street, but I think that’s especially true of frontier and spirit... they wanna get going asap

On a separate thought, what do you think the chances of the may bid period opening tomorrow... I’m at 6.483% they do

This sucks and the Trump deranged media is to blame. It can be statistically proven pandemics worse than this have occured. We will recover within a year. How much we will recover is yet to be seen, but F9 is best poised to weather this.

Everything he said is true. You are the one with your head in the sand or up your a..

There have been worse pandemics but they were greatly ignored or underreported by the media and slow to react to by a lame president who acted 7 months into the pandemic. But we all got Obama phones with 200 free minutes!! Woo Hoo!! Fist bump!!
Todd Chavez might be a putz but he is our putz so head on back over to your own forum and spew your doom and gloom over there. We plan on making it through this.

This one is not over yet. So we really don’t know how bad it’s going to be. But which other pandemic in the last 20 or 30 years has been worse and under reported? Because I really don’t know of any.

The swine flu killed approx. 12000 people in the US. We're already approaching that number with this, and it's just getting started.
