That's probably in the zone of reasonableness of realistic expectations. Which is further evidence that the HVC+20% revenue fantasy is an extremely poor rebuilding stratedgy. Especially since we largely got that revenue premium in the first place because of a robust network force multiplied by a Swiss watch operation.

Collapsing the network that the HVC+20% types threw money at us for in the first place in an attempt to get them back because we're above the fray and either can't compete or just don't want to for whatever reason will guarantee we lag the industry for many years.

And just wait til the LCC's, as they begin to grow rapidly, start barfing ever more FC and lay flat seats into premium transcon and then international markets for nickels on the dollar.

The 85 pct cap did nothing for social distance and only served to anger pax left behind because you know ... oversold. Commuting has been a disaster. Removing the cap - awesome. Wear your mask. Keep your hands on your side of the plane. Let’s go fly.

(Reuters) - American Airlines (AAL) said on Friday that it will no longer restrict the number of seats sold on flights beginning July 1, in an effort to come back from the impact of the coronavirus.

The announcement comes before a meeting between the chief executives of major U.S. airlines, including American, and senior U.S. officials, including Vice President Mike Pence, at the White House to discuss several virus-related travel issues.

U.S. airlines are bleeding cash as travel suffers in the pandemic and have warned that capping seats sold on each flight to allow for more space between passengers is not viable.

American was previously limiting its seating capacity at 85% on each flight, or roughly 50% of the main cabin middle seats.

The company said it will notify customers if their flight is going to be full and allow them to move to more open flights when available, mirroring a policy by United Airlines .

Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines have said they will continue limiting their seating capacity through September.

The Allied Pilots Association, which represents American Airlines' (AAL) pilots, has called for the government to subsidize empty seats to help people feel more comfortable about flying and create a level playing field.

American's shares lost 5% on the Nasdaq.

Among measures to reassure passengers, airlines are touting deep cleaning and hospital-grade air filters. American said it had teamed up with Vanderbilt University Medical Center on health and cleaning matters and will begin asking customers on June 30 during the check-in process to certify that they have been free of COVID-19 symptoms for the past 14 days.

U.S. passenger numbers have rebounded from lows reached in April, but there is growing concern about the impact of a fresh spike in coronavirus cases in a number of U.S. states, including Texas, where American is based.

This article jives with Ed's comment that American is unable to lower their costs enough to survive and only has the option to survive by getting more revenue. Not commenting on whether that is the smart move or not. Just saying it fits Ed's view of American.

I know of a delta pilot that just bought tickets on American for his whole family to fly to the Dakotas. Couldn’t buy them on Delta.

The 85% cap is utterly pointless when you’re lined up butt to gut in the jetway boarding anyway. I have to wonder if the FAs like the new model of just handing out a goodie bag during boarding and chilling in the galley for the duration of the flight. Would be interesting to see if the legacy carriers adopt some sort of ULCC on board practices going forward. As for 04JUL - 737,823

Just bought tickets on American to get to MTJ for 4 of us. Got some fly fishing to do up there in Telluride. Granted, we (DAL) don't get fly there this time of year regardless AAL fares beat everyone else.

I'm with pangolin. Mask up, lets get on with it - 100% flight capacity henceforth!

Oh yeah, F the china flu. Latest deaths from CDC as of Friday. Link is here https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/c...ess_deaths.htm
