Compared to 2019, we gained a marginal amount of UA flying March to April, but only a couple hundred hours. What isn't accounted for is the current Express shuffling going on at United, so not sure how that plays into 2020.

is it bad math to generalize that if UA is reducing its domestic flying by 10%, all UA contractors will see around 10% reduction in their UA flying?
Or UA is over-reacting and doing this for nothing worthy are very proactive and DL and AA will follow soon.
