Wonder what we'll do with the airframes for the next three months.

Everyone will be 23k’d. So I expect a lot of equipment subs/swaps as we move to fill up those 350’s to Europe, and then the 767’s between ATL and MCO.

It's definitely a hit for UAL. For us, I think a lot depends on who redeploys what on TATL. If UAL dumps a lot onto that, it could affect our revenues. But I don't think they will be able to do that to the extent they might want, on such short notice. We will now be able to pull 7ERs off of TATL and put them on domestic, which was the plan all along, just not this soon. Our summer staffing crisis probably just went down a few notches. I don't think this virus thing is going away by spring either, probably not until late summer at the earliest. It's not a good development, but we are well positioned.

Good news.
I’d imagine they’re having a difficult time finding enough FA’s who want to be in a metal tube for 12 hours with China passengers right now.
It might be a panic, but at some point, perception becomes reality.
