Adding 25K flights in August
Good news...it looks like we are “ramping up” a bit in August. We will be flying approximately 50% of our August 2019 domestic capacity...

I would counter that the actions of AA, WN, & DL have probably driven this decision. Agreed, it's still very bad, but the alternative is being relegated to irrelevancy in the fight for the few pax who are flying.

Exactly right, if we keep hiding under our rock it’s pretty tough to book on us. SWA is playing this very well. Of course they’ve got the cash to go out and reclaim market share and our boys blew their rainy day money at the candy store last year.

I agree. Most flights right now will be short notice. Booked in a week or less from the departure date. My daughter recently went from DEN to ECP/VPS area on short notice (5 days). UAL wasn't an option on the travel dates.

This. Considering past performance this was fairly quick.

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.
