i don’t think it’s out of the question that we could be real close to a 70% WINTER schedule by OCT 1. Then if we carry that to summer and add for summer 2021 we could maintain a 70% SUMMER schedule.

The big elephants in the room are
- an institutional reaction to unemployment/debt numbers
- A lack of market confidence in whichever mentally unfit individual wins in November
- or a large Covid flareup
