I have 2 Medallion flyers in my family. Both of their companies cancelled all air travel for next 2 months and then reassess.

I wonder if early parking of the 76ER is also being discussed. It's been called the "flex fleet" to cope with market fluctuations.

I bet that’s it.

Couldn’t be the cockpit comfort. Wouldn’t be the deice fluid dripping in. Not the trips or other associated negatives. It must be an inability of pilots to pilot the aircraft.

Talk to the USAirways guys about the MD 80 park job. Massive disruption. You never know what happens next. Your management may then pick up JetBlue or some other carrier down the road after this temporary virus issue passes, then demand rebounds. Suddenly they need newer airframes.Then comes the SLI and a bunch of guys cascading into your bases and widebody jobs.
