That may be what the Town Hall is for tomorrow. I don't think we will. We'd have to bring a lot of airplanes out of storage and start operating more money losing flights. The grant money covers payroll and not operating costs. I could be wrong but we'll see tomorrow.

Back of napkin math , let’s say they do 45 flights a day in a slow down, multiplied by 30 days a month, divided by the number of requires flights per station as per the final order that was just issued (approx 14 at 3 a week) = 96 stations. I think in a 45 flights a day slow down , they could support flying to 96 stations , and keep in mind , international stations are excluded. I’m sure some routes will have higher yields than others , but they’ll probably ask for specific route exemptions like the Greensboro’s Richmond’s , and Asheville’s etc. If the service requirements are the main concern, I’d bet they take the money

That being said, I hope they are able to take the money, preserve our incomes for a period to come, and on the other side of this we come out and go back to growing as an airline.

So every market we serve once daily - we would still have to go three times a week? This would only be a 57% cut in service. I can’t see this working with single digit passenger numbers. We are already at 90%.
And for the big airlines that are serving a market five flights a day - they only need to serve five times a week now. =86% reduction
Prepare for the bad news and furloughs
