it’s way too early to decide what size to make the company in the fall as no one has a handle on what demand will look like, although I do remember hearing “but it isn’t looking too good right now...” and they said “rightsize the airline” like 10 times.
Not flying 321’s. Bringing NEO’s in to do some of the flying, the fuel saving doesn’t really matter with these fuel prices and P&W MX costs.
Seeing a slow return in demand from absolute zero to zero, adding 1900 block hours to June since the last ‘run’, might add more again. What’s that, like 700 flights?
Break even load factor estimated at 60-70% depending on the fares. Break even percentage might be lower while CARES is covering some expenses.
Universal optimism that spirit will come out in a strooong position compared to the legacy carriers. Even if we’re all going to be hurting for a while.
Focusing on saving money in day to day operations, most projects halted. WiFi on pause. (Who cares about the WiFi? We had better questions to ask...)

I’m forgetting some points
I shouldn’t sound so flippant, I was just being a smart a$$. I really do care, I just had something else todo and I couldn’t be away from. Thanks for the information.

As opposed to WiFi project on full throttle and definitely about to be “a thing” any day now if the pandemic had not hit.

Did they at least keep a straight face?

You didn’t miss anything. The only relevant info was the slight increase in bookings and the additional hours that will be thrown into IOT, but that info was already covered on that ALPA email. About the future? They don’t know. Several repeat questions that took up a good chunk of time. Listening to our VP of ops it’s a waste of time. Seems like he doesn’t know his numbers very well and diverts the questions with long statements that mean nothing. I rather listen to Bendo. Somebody asked about staffing levels Oct 1st. The answer is, “we don’t F.K.” And it’s true, nobody knows...
