New Hire
I was explained in detail that F9 would be almost entirely recession-proof, due to the low-cost nature of their tickets.
i think this is a littles flawed, because in a recession, it’s not that people are only trying to pay less for tickets, it is that less people are flying for non-business reasons.
business flying would continue on mainline-while LCCs would have issues filling seats at a reasonable rate. This may lead to a shift in strategy by LCCs to offer a more business-oriented product in addition to seats in the back.
regardless, I think F9 will survive through this slowdown with the right agility. I believe although, the 24mo total average load factor starting from March 2020 will be 75% than the previous 24, which will definately
require systematic down-scaling of operations and capacity reduction.
but that’s my .02
