Should we be using the term "Chief" any more? I'm waiting for that revisionist history leaf to turn.

I don’t either. The P2P Call had a nice gem
in it. Not sure how many read it all.
Of the 3 possible scenarios come October.
1. Demand returns fast as hell and we continue to grow this year.
2. Things stagnant a bit, but not so bad we furlough
3. They have to right size...
As of this past week, they are not thinking or planning on us going down the 3rd scenario Road. Of course this can change, but solid to hear regardless.
Given a massive amount of tickets are being purchased last minute (1-2 weeks out), according to JM on the townhall, this August numbers are abysmal has me thinking BS.
Its still June. If you have public data to support August looking awful, by all means share it, but until I see how July pans out, I’m not going to speculate.

Delta is pretty much saying expect furloughs, United May go bankrupt, American, who knows. The airlines are asking for another huge bailout. I hope I’m wrong for the many young folks we have, but having been through this before, I’d be planning for the worse and hoping for the best.
My word of advice if anyone cares, it’s temporary. Things will get better, it’s a cyclical industry. Fix your finances, Refinance or downsize, keep your car longer, get rid of cable, change your cellphone plan, eat in more, find free things to do. Live like a regional pilot again. Many of us have survived this before, those affected by this will also.

We all have the ability to view future loads. Posting them on here would be unethical. With 80% off fare deals, our planes better be full. I would think 80% off fares isn't about making money so much as slowing losses. Let's just hope the majority one week to two week out bookings mgmt keeps referencing continues into July and August.

F9 got the same kind of memo. Bookings in Aug and beyond aren’t looking hot. The news headlines and the northeast quarantining people are not helping anything

Based in our last town hall. It’s hard to predict what the end of July and beyond will look like, since our booking is usually 1-2 weeks out.
