Default UAL to cut capacity by 50% for April

@united
to cut capacity by 50% for April, May and likely beyond. Corporate officers take a 50% pay cut. Airline anticipating load factors in the 20-30% range, #coronavirus estimated to cost the airline $1.5bn in March. 1 million fewer passengers so far in March vs 2019

I'm doing my CQDL now. I would rather have 1 hour of pay at this months rate than next months rate!

This is bad folks, and like it or not, this is caused by the TDS media, not the virus itself.

I hate to point fingers but your mindset is more of the problem. Not the media. Your mindset made others have a false sense of security and left us unprepared
and willing to realize the warnings that were staring us on the face. Scram.

Well said.

Read Michael Lewis "The Fifth Risk" if you don't believe that gutting federal agencies hasn't maximized the impact of this virus. Trump didn't cause this virus, be he sure screwed the pooch in handling it. And that started 3 years ago.
