If they can snag some prime LHR slots from distressed airlines, might be worth delaying less, even if demand isn't quite ready yet.

You're on the money with the furlough idea. Furloughs are a long term solution for, what we hope, is a shorter term problem (<12 months) or so.
I hate to mention it, but finding candidates, when it comes time to hire again, probably wont be a problem. No telling how many the legacies will shed with this hit- 6-10K? more?

Fair point, I’ve always been hoping to see more courage and bold action from mgmt, but that would have put us in a much worse situation than we are currently. We’ll see where this winds up.

PLEASE REMAIN CALM.

You sure do seem to care a lot for your one friend who is still at jetBlue. That's noble.

Its expensive, but I would also guess it still goes within 6 months of target. It’s the biggest piece of their future strategy. It’s also starting off with a few planes and a few flights so nothing off the charts complex. One question though is how delayed with the LR be as well as ETOPS?
