Or adding more.

Where I live we have gone from zero nonstops to Orlando to 6 a week, two of them being on Saturday. They did part of it with less than a week's notice and without giving the station time to properly man the flights. It's pandemonium here. The experienced ops agents took VSP and the young bucks have never seen it like this. The flights are all stacked back to back during morning and evening surge times.

How many flights a day are we at now? Maybe we'll get back to Sept 2019 levels for Sept 2021 and over 4k daily flights for Thanksgiving etc. Even if that's so and we were 1000 over manned in 2019 then wouldnt we be more right sized now even without the 500 ExTOs?

I predict there will be something like, "guys we WANT to buy hundreds of 737s... but we can't until you sign right here..."

Perhaps they'll find time during the party in Houston for a big reveal.
