Thanksgiving peak could start as early as today, certainly by this weekend. You may see non traditional travel patterns this year - as those working or schooling remotely don’t necessarily have to wait till Thanksgiving eve to travel. I think we could see some nice YoY gains over the next 5 days as people travel earlier than last year.
That said I think post thanksgiving my not be as good as we hope with colleges going remote for finals. Maybe more one way tickets this year?

Looking for these numbers to start improving, hopefully we see an uptick beginning Saturday 11-21.
We have yet to break 45% since March (came close tho...). It would be nice to crack that and even hit 50%, even if just for feel-good purposes.

What matters is the passenger travel during normal travel not during holiday peaks. That is what will keep pilots in the front of the aircraft. And those numbers have been holding steady in the abysmal 30th percentile.
Just my thoughts, we'll see if we get a jump in numbers after Thanksgiving.

It has been confirmed that every silver lining does, in fact, contain a dark cloud.
You do know that there are two vaccines coming in the near future, right? The doom and gloom is probably a bit overblown at this point.

I think that serious improvement in the face of the sorts of Draconian limitations on gatherings now being mandated in some states is unlikely. Not going to debate the reasonableness or necessity of those limitations - different subject which at least the election being over has removed some of the political issues about them.
But simply the FACT of those restrictions, regardless of whether you see them as warranted or unwarranted - is going to preclude a fast recovery IMHO.
Perhaps once distribution of vaccine starts in earnest some of that will change, but I think until many of these restrictions ARE lifted pax numbers are going to stay down.
