Last minute cancels
Hey folks
perspective pilot currently in the middle of phase 2 but sent home because of our current situation. That being said still commuting to my current job and most days I rely on JetBlue to get me there.
I’m seeing a lot of last minute cancellations. Can anyone shed light on when they re making these decisions, seems like other airlines are planning pretty well in advance (24-48 hours)

Imagine this, the year is 2020, planes stopped flying not because of the lack of air, but because of COVID-19.
If you’re Still in 2019 can you please send your time
machine to me I’d like to use it.

I don’t get why people don’t understand this? This is a complete overnight dismantling of the airline. Yes, this is not going to go smoothly. It will get better over the next few months.

The challenge is commuting. I’m primarily on AA and they're cancelling 11 out of 15 flights to NYC. As a line holder come to Queens 2 days early to sit in a Crashpad? Not a chance. I’ll take the OOP.

You can see the number of flights starting April 1st dropping significantly from the mid 800’s to low 300’s/day.
Company also said they were reducing their NYC flights from 200+ flights a day, to just 40.
As it was mentioned on the other thread, they already canceled a good portion of our flights for April, in CrewTrac. My awarded scheduled was cut down 95%. I literally have just a handful of legs to fly, as of now.
Company initially said they were cutting 5%, then 40% and after that, I don’t believe they send out an official number. But if we are only flying 300ish flights a day, that’s roughly a 70% reduction, which is in line with most of our peers.
