It would seem to me that you weren’t in the industry during the last downturn either? As there are a couple of things wrong with your post. The Comair shutdown was not due to an economic downturn. And most ASA guys would probably say that Skywest buying ASA was worse for the company than when Delta owned it? And as far as excess capacity... who knows what that is at this point? Just speaking of the Delta side, right now it doesn’t look like they even have enough block hours for any one of their contract carriers. The reduction in passenger travel is much worse than 911 and the previous recession. I think we’re all going to feel this one for quite some time

Semi thread resurrection here. In our latest update from CC, it seems that we’re hoping for the best but preparing for less than optimal conditions. One thing for certain is, OO will be a smaller airline. How much smaller...dunno.

In the SAPA call Aric seemed stumped about this as well. Question remained who will be in that group. |

Why would he be stumped? Is he not looking at what is happening? Anyone with a brain doing some critical thinking can tell the short term future for airlines is bleak and no one should be surprised that most airlines will be smaller than before,

One thing is for sure. If they don't bring the snack baskets back any time soon, I think we'll all have smaller waistlines than before.

That’s a good thing right? I’ve never seen so many young pilots spilling out of their belts and blowing buttons off, seriously, get a gym pass fellas.
Anyway, back to the topic. When I listened to the call recording, and then later read the brief update from CC, my impression was they just wanted to deflect. No one was stumped. They just didn't want to commit to anything. Even a tentative too-wide net of potential furlough considerations. About the best we got was "no base closures, BUT DONT QUOTE ME because it could change," and that they had considered early-outs but passed on the idea. Mostly just 45 minutes of hemming and hawing and avoiding anything of substance. |
Are you guys referring to yesterday's call or the call on 7/16? I don't see meeting notes or the recording uploaded yet on the SAPA site.
