This site says 116 parked. I think when we see planes get un-parked then hopefully things are turning around.

Ted said during the Town Hall that we were doing 700+ pre-COVID.

People are tired of being stuck at home and the longer this goes on the less scared people will be. The fact is, if you’re under age 50 and don’t have a preexisting condition, your chance of death is minuscule in the event you contract the virus. I’m betting that we still salvage something by the end of the summer. Plus, other airlines have already reported sales increasing for flights more than three months out, I would imagine our numbers are picking up as well.

I also had over 100 people on a flight just a few days ago, another good sign that not everyone has lost their minds over this.

Or a good sign that when you slash 95% of capacity and combine 10 flights into one, you still don't have a full plane.
Wild guess is May 2021, but I hope I'm wrong and it's much sooner.

The condiment is neither a condom nor a mint--- discuss.

What is the 750 flights number ? Was that how many flights you guys had per day before all the parked planes ?

where did you read that? I saw a UBS report that was using that as a baseline but everything else I’ve seen (Disney Hotel Promos) are targeting June 1 But that realistically is probably too soon. Who knows

I hope it’s sooner than the end of September or the government handout/loan lasts.
I don’t think you are going to see pre-covid loads unfortunately. I think we are still going to see modifications in travel such as strong recommendations of leaving the center seat open, pax issues with other pax’s they suspect of being sick because they coughed. Our loads all depend on the markets we serve reopening. It definitely isn’t going to be a flip of a switch.

You do realize everything is canceled through the summer (concerts, sports, festivals, etc)? Corporate travel isn’t even looking at starting to book until Q4 this year. These are all the things that drive travel demand. Oh and by the way we are going to be approaching 20% unemployment in the next few months. I love optimism but we have to look at reality.

all pax and FAs should be required to wear a mask. This will cut down immensely on pax conflicts on board
