Is it $2B in the red or $2B less in revenue than March 2019?

Sounds bad but I think this is the best move. Allows us to consolidate passengers to fewer flights and stop expenses of flying so empty all over the place. All my flights yesterday still wouldn’t have filled the plane one time...

Ok, that's what I thought. Is it still bad? Hell yes, but not as bad as a total loss of $2B.

Has Anyone else noticed that almost every flight has roughly 30-35 pax on it no matter the length of flight? Seems to be a magic number on my trip. Not full not Empty always in the 30s

I hear what you are saying. Flying empty airplanes goes against cash preservation. But flying less flights with full pax kind of goes against the CDC guidelines. It’s a no-win.
