Weekend’s not over yet!

not quite 2m but 2 days over 1.9m…I’ll take it. I think this will be our new resistance line until mask mandates are dropped and/or intl opens up.

More importantly, it looks like 75% of comparable days in 2019 seems to be the new resistance line.

(Someone once said on these forums 70-80% would the summer 2021 normal, now it looks like that might be on the low side. He was ridiculed as being crazy. No way will the industry recover that fast.)

Requal. pilots, planes back on line, international travel, and business travel seems to be the main barriers to get to 100%.

That's awesome and all, but leisure travel is fickle.

We need our business travelers back.

It's not significant, but we are taking a few of the booze drinking business travelers from SWA. I know a few in my area of TX who prefer a flight with Woodford Reserve over cans of water.

Not to mention they don’t want their seat kicked for two hours by a $30 fare-payer traveling in their pajamas.

Fill up an airplane, empty out a trailer park.

True, at least my empty neighborhood has been peaceful.😁

They love the Cognac and bread sticks.

I am starting to wonder what the frequent flier programs are really worth anymore. Before all the panic, when was the last time you even sniffed a first class seat as a non-rev? The upgrade lists have more names than total number of seats on the airplanes as it is, so you are really only getting the MOST loyal and biggest spenders in those programs; which means those that have already invested a significant amount with Mama Delta. A million miler anymore is pretty much like millionaires in that they are not all that uncommon. So what will motivate a 'new' road warrior to be brand loyal going forward? You don't get cognac and breadsticks back in the gulag. It's an interesting problem.
