Remember, pax don’t really care if it’s an RJ or Airbus. Its all United to them. DL will definitely win with their 717s and MD90s. |

Per past shareholders comms, the CPAs with XJT roughly assume 60% break even load factors. Meaning that if they can maintain an average 65% load factor, the brand can survive until business can pick back up.

How is his statement hyperbole. Air traffic has been reduced 90%, planes are parked all over, airports are dead and the flights that are flying have mostly open seats. If this thing resurges in winter like the CDC alludes to with no treatment or vaccine this industry will be decimated. There will be airline bankruptcies galore. The majority of people will be afraid to go out in public let alone fly. Nobody can say for sure how this is going to play out, but it's safe to say this is unprecedented.

Can anyone please show me where there is evidence of a COVID 19 transmission from one passenger to another on a flight? Someone they weren't traveling with?

Really? I’ve flown both of them with UA colors painted on the side, and I certainly disagree with this statement.

If that’s true why is DAL planning to ground those two airframes?

Why to liberals think everybody staying home and not working is sustainable for anything more than a month or two?
Maybe not pointless, but the target keeps shifting making the guidance pointless. First it was shelter-in-place to flatten the curve. Now it's a few more months, according to some experts. Or 2021. Or 2022. Testing isn't going to happen on a large scale. We can't contain the virus. We need to shift our attention to living with it long-term, whatever that may entail. There is no escape from this-it is now part of planet Earth. And the AFA and their petition to legally ban all leisure travel is insane. I see their point, but what they want is absurd and probably not legal. They don't want to be the ones blamed in the post-analysis. |
