Positive news thread

Just trying to start a thread for positive news despite what's going on with Covid-19. Anything positive to look forward to with Horizon?

In terms of job security, you’re a lot better off at Horizon than Alaska

With Ravn closing shop what do you think are the chances that we will see a reopening of the ANC base?

Company's got "stay home" reduced credit lines. That's another good step.

Also, why're we better off than at Alaska. I tend to agree but just curious. Is it cuz we're waaaay cheaper flying some of the same routes?

From what I've seen they are improving a bit. I went from an average of single digits to seeing upper 40s to 50 passengers. This is probably partly due to them figuring out how to schedule flights to maximize passenger loads, but it has to be partly due to an increase in passengers as well. A few weeks ago, I saw nearly all single business people flying, and now I'm seeing families and couples. Seems like it has started to transition from essential business travel to at least some family travel.
