Outsider of course, has Spirit said anything yet? Eg, any displacement bid, vacancy, etc?

Based on the last flight ops town hall, aircraft are being rotated from being parked and operating, with nothing in long term storage. We will defer some orders next year. I don't think we will find out if there will be displacements until July-August. The latest vacancy is only for those in training or have upcoming class dates. I'm not going to speculate, since it's too early to tell what will happen in the next few months with the demands of travel.

Very true my numbers are no doubt off, my point was everyone should be concerned about what’s going on here. Sure we increased to 80 flights a day but that’s not enough flights to keep most of us employed.

Or more importantly, the airline in business for long.

I don’t think anyone disagrees with you. But, increasing flights is a step in the right direction. We’re not magically going to go from 50-700 in a single month. It will be a gradual thing, hopefully we’ll see demand keep increasing and have a bigger increase in July/August.

Agreed. I’d rather be furloughed for years than have this place going under, or have the pilot group taking concessions if you ask me.

Absolutely agree

Five weeks post-bottom, 22% average weekly throughput growth. Did not solve for the probability of continuing averages, only averages. With current 22% weekly passenger growth, industry will hit 50% of 2019 sometime in mid to late July, this is of course barring any major negative disease trends. Given the lack of international flights for the foreseeable future, i wonder how far these numbers can actually go, and will the numbers skew more heavily toward WN and NK initially?
