After reading through the LAX chairs response to ATL, it seems their reason for voting no, was that congress will pass the cares 2 and this will all have been for nothing. Does anyone have any faith in congress at this point?

I’ve never had faith in Congress before this year, and I’ve seen nothing to change my opinion now

Not necessarily. A vaccine won’t reduce deaths to zero and is likely to be largely ineffective. I would expect herd immunity by next summer though. A vaccine will provide a sentiment help like a sugar pill. Maybe our leaders will get rid of the masks shortly after, but I wouldn’t expect “what makes sense” to be how this plays out considering how things have gone. Either way, looking at the sentiment I see, I don’t see passenger levels close to 2019 levels until people can travel without the anxiety the mask creates. I still think they can rise to 50-70% until that point provided quarantine/testing restrictions are lifted.

I noticed that too. And pushing hard for a 30 day ratification because it's "policy". You know, things may be a little different this time. This LOA can be pulled down with 30 days notice by either side. I really don't see a lot of downside, and keeping 220 people employed while this plays out is a worthy goal.
