That’s what is making the recovery difficult and fueling the inability to accurately forecast how we come out of this. Some states are mostly open, some partial, and some not. Major markets such as New York and California are being more cautious than others. Until there is a vaccine or at least a reliable treatment, things will be extremely slow. Also, many would like to travel, but don’t want to have to deal with the hassle of booking flights on reduced schedules, wearing a mask on the plane, or getting to a destination where restrictions are in place. I know that I wouldn’t travel right now. It has nothing to do with exposure to the virus, it is because it all sounds like a pain in the butt. The big displacement at United just closed. There should be a couple of clean up bids released starting this week. That should start to give people an idea of how things are going to shake out. They will announce the size of the initial furlough for United pilots, and the regionals should find out how much their flying will be reduced as well. Good times.

Counter- NK,F9,SWA, Will offer Uber cheap fares to really put the pressure on the legacies. Their profit margins will suffer.

This is a industry changing event for the next decade -

Not as industry changing as you might think.

What do the legacies do?

1. International.
2. Regional service to small towns that ULCCs either don't touch, or have very poor frequency.

Those two key service paradigms seem to survive every downturn and game-changing industry event. ULCCs won't be replacing that.

This is exactly what SK said the plan was going to be. Not increased frequency, but putting bigger planes on the same frequency until demand improves sufficiently.
