UAL can defer the XLRs but that also means holding onto the 757s and not replacing.

I would have thought it could do-
GLA
EDI
OPO
LIS
KEF
DUB
SNN
And if we ever start these cities up again-
GTW
BFS
Motch

UAL bought XLRs for a reason, and it was not a desire for additional fleet complexity.

Monday: ORD-NRT 13:00
Wednesday: NRT-ORD 13:00
Total: 26:00 each for one Captain and THREE F/Os.
Monday: EWR-SFO 6:30
Tuesday: SFO-EWR 6:30
Wednesday: EWR-SFO 6:30
Thursday: SFO-EWR 6:30
Total: 26:00 each for one Captain and ONE F/O.
That is the same amount of flying for Captain schedules, but 52 hours less for F/O schedules.

Nobody is booking domestic trips now either so we don’t need them on the domestic network at this time and probably through May. Best thing that could be done at this point is a federal mandated quarantine for 3 weeks nationwide. We draw down all flying for this time period and have a date in which we start to wind it back up again. Virus can’t spread if we all quarantine and public confidence can build during the quarantine period. Most import, we don’t continue to spread to the point that hospitals run out of ventilators thus causing a death sentence for the elderly and others who contract and progress to the critical stage. The numbers are stacked against us absent a national quarantine. Tearing the band-aid off would probably be the beat thing for our industry and our nation as a whole.
