All of which can be voided, disregarded or otherwise violated and excused during national emergencies and from forces beyond the code share partner’s control. Everyone will be in for some short term hurt at least.

Do you ever say something positive? Apart from all the "facts" you love and all the drama, justified or not. Have you ever tried been positive to compensate a little bit. You should try.
No, and he doesn't care. 50% are going to get sick? I'd love to see the statistics backing that up. Wait... it doesn't exist.

Preach. We could be like the TSH holdings carriers. Thankful to be in the position I am right now given the current situation.

We are very lucky. I’ve been paying close attention to the wisdom of those that have been through times like this before. If you have a job then you have it made.

Out of curiosity do the scope clauses mandate regional fleet reductions concomitant with mainline reductions and in some specified ratio?

depends. Some regionals have minimum block hour guarantee.. And EAS routes are subsidized and must be flown.. We have seen this before. Some regionals thrived. Some really hurt. Look back at history and you can figure out who has good contracts with there partner that keeps them flying..

Every regional will feel the effects the next 2-6 months. Its after that that you will want to watch what ones bounce back and what ones are hanging on by a thread..

agreed, but I would be surprised if there wasn’t a clause for events such as this?

Every contract has a clause for events beyond the control of the partner.

It’s a clause I’m certain. I’m sure all your contracts have a “Force Majeure” clause. I wouldn’t worry, unless this continues through the summer.
