Baseline losses would have been 10 billion per quarter. They have removed 5 billion in costs so actual losses will be 5 billion per quarter. Some of that 5 billion is deferring costs that they will still have to pay at a later date.

I wonder if revenue will pickup anytime in the next 3-6 months. What if people begin to travel again, like businesses or sports teams or families going on vacation.

Broader market had some gains back then; maybe you could recover in 5 years or so?

Heck, I know that was in jest: If you're a true believer, there's never been a better time to buy in our lifetimes. Then again, I press buttons when I'm told to for a living.

Once international flying returns people will JUMP!

My wife's father lives in Peru. She told me already she doesn't care how much it costs she wants to see him the second she can fly.

I'm guessing a lot of people have family all over the world.

I have friends itching to travel around the world. Staying home will be the last thing they do. If they can afford it.

All it is going to take is some break in the curve or in the vaccine/treatment status and the pent-up demand will skyrocket Short term pain right now

The qualifier is how many are unemployed and simply do not have the funds for “luxury” like travel both domestic and international.

there will always be plenty of people in this country with money and pent up demand for travel. The problem is air travel in this country has just become too cheap

If they really do pull down 90% of the flying like sailingfun said then expenses will also reduce dramatically.

90% on 23K will make for a strange summer.

I’m not saying we will be back to record profits any time soon but my prediction is our flights will be full again by the end of the year and we will be bringing planes back
