Long shot here, Delta has $15 billion in bullion in the belly of that 747 next to the G.O. It's possible.

I don’t have that answer but I feel maybe it would help accelerate the recovery

I hope if they shut it down, I'm somewhere I want to be. Hopefully within driving distance to home. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

If I had to bet, in the next month or so we will be grounding all airlines for a month. Essentially shutting everything down in this country for at least one month.

Exactly. The damage is done short term. I think that the 40% capacity cut and grounding 300 planes is a way to reduce costs and weather the storm...short term. If the virus recedes, public confidence is restored and spent up demand will restart the machine. If shutting down can help control and reduce spread, the sooner the airlines and the economy will recover..and that's what we all want.

Is the 6 hours in 23k essentially short call?

23k and Short call both say promptly available, so I take that as a yes.

Well I don't know now, Congress passed a bill last night extending FMLA to small businesses by law, among other things. That will result in perhaps millions of job losses from small businesses, being unable to afford to have any employees. I sold my business over a year ago, thank God, as this law would have certainly bankrupted me. If the government keeps up these types of responses, and at the same time the Fed keeps refusing to bailout anyone other than banks, you're looking at a great depression.

Over a mild flu.

I mean put it another way. Let's destroy everything to keep old people and sick people from maybe dying.
