Isn’t 100% the max something can go down?

No. People are cancelling already booked trips faster than people are booking new trips. Negative bookings.

That would be a current/existing booking, not a future booking, no? How can something in the future (ie doesn’t exist yet) drop by more than 100%?

Anyone taking this seriously yet?
Oh, and DL, the strongest airline out there, just announced they are parking 300 aircraft.
To be fair they were parking the Mad Dogs after summer as it was. Not sure how many of those are in the 300.

True, but if they also defer orders, it will be a true 300.
