OCL/OFL enjoy your 69 lines for September...
Reserve list should be interesting with all the new displacements. Not sure on the count but we are going to be very heavy on pilots.

Ed Bastian of Delta just had a live interview with David Ignatius of the Washington Post this morning about the state of the airline industry. Among other things, Bastian mentioned that Delta doesn't forecast business travel returning until mid-year 2021. Granted, this is at an airline that has created a revenue premium around business travelers, while we chase bottom dollar, but it's not a good indicator for us either.

For new guys who are thinking this is the apocalypse: September is always slower in this industry because it's a shoulder month for travel. What will be more telling is our flying in October and forward.

my understanding is Sept-Oct-Nov are the busiest business travel months out of the year.

Now think about all the large pharmaceutical conventions that won't happen this year. The I-bankers flying to close deals. Heck, all of the Walmart suppliers not flying in and out of XNA because they traditionally had to sell product face to face at that company. This is what impacts this industry, not incremental revenue from price sensitive, and loyalty agnostic, vacation travelers. (Who won't have money anyway as reality hits them starting this month. I'm looking at you, Spirit, Frontier, et al.)
