I think it’s a very real possibility that we at Spirit see furloughs but I also don’t think this downturn will last nearly as long as 911. During the 911 downturn people were scared of flying and traveling and we were at war.

People aren’t scared of flying today. We aren’t in a major wartime conflict. People are just scared of this virus and are heeding the CDC’s advice to stay home. Once the virus peaks or a vaccine/cure comes out and people are back at work I’m pretty sure they’ll want to go on their vacations again. Who knows we may actually see a surge since people are sick of sitting around at home. Business travel and international travel may take a little longer to return than domestic vacationers. Who knows if this peaks in a couple months and tapers off they may be able to make some money with last minute vacationers trying to squeeze in their summer vacations.

I don’t think people are even scared of the virus honestly which is why municipalities had to take measures to shut things down bc people weren’t distancing on their own. Airlines weren’t helping honestly. I like to think that when the “task force” decides a date to come out of hiding people we go full throttle.

This makes sense, especially when you look at our loads before the major attractions closed down. Once places such as Vegas Or Disney closed, our no shows rates was almost half of what was booked.

I know i plan to go full throttle vacationing once things start to open back up this summer. Hoping for suite upgrades and short lines and limited exposure to dirty noisy children.

The fact that airlines kept operating as normal probably made this exponentially worse .
