You can't just take a rate and extrapolate it out and claim it to have any value. That's pretty basic statistics 101 stuff at best. Honestly that wouldn't even fly in a high school physics or chemistry class. By your logic, there would be infinite passengers in a year or so.

So no furloughs then, right?

It all depends on the airline network and how much passengers, they can recoup fast enough. There will be furloughs, but I don’t think as much as some guys think.

It's only showing that growth has started, which is important at the moment. It will, of course, level off and reverse and most likely follow a Gompertz curve (You had that in college level stats, right? And maybe saw it or something similar in your second or third year of calculus, right? I did.). The question is when.

Brad

Are you going to keep updating that chart?

If not do you mind sharing the spreadsheet it’s in?

Great, a "theory monkey". I appreciate the effort, but there are so many unknowns for this model I don't see how you can possibly consider using something like a Gompertz function to predict a return to normalcy.

But hey, I hope you're right and by Oct 1 we're all taking about what an idiot I am.

There is your misunderstanding. I'm not suggesting it predicts anything, really, nowhere have I claimed any prediction about what October will look like. I've only stated that several different tools have said what it is *possible* for it to look like after others ruled it out based on ...well... nothing really. Show me data that refutes that, and I'll happily accept it. But I reject hand-waving and conclusions that assume facts not in evidence.

Would you mind posting it as a shared google doc?
