maybe "adult leisure" is coming back before "family/kids leisure"

Well Disney still isn’t open yet so not surprising really for MCO.

Families go to universal as an afterthought on their Disney vacation.

Have you checked the more beach type vacation spots? I read Airbnb bookings were way up for June as July.

I agree with a lot of the posts. Many flights out of cities are running “covid full”. Until flights are added, we won’t necessarily see higher numbers of pax showing up. I tried to get out of town the other day and gave up after the 3rd flight with nonrevs being left behind.

Was “Covid capped” on a 200 seat plane going to SJU the other day.

Well it’s still unsustainable and firmly in industry fail territory. It bumped above 20 pct of last year briefly but it’s been hovering steadily in the 15 pct range for a while. We are no where near out of the woods and as this disease peaks again we are in for more pain.

I wish it was a capacity cap issue but it’s not. Flying in at about 50 pct prior to covid but is servicing 20 pct. The issue is with where the demand is coming back and that it’s uneven.

Well, it’s pretty clear that even the airlines themselves are using different strategies. AA seems to be betting on an early comeback - perhaps because with their debt load they are screwed anyway if it doesn’t happen - while the other legacies look like they are planning a ‘shrink to profitability strategy. SWA seems to be betting that by increasing flying they can grab domestic market share. NK and F9 seem to have the same idea, but hedging their bets a little since they don’t have the deep pockets of SWA.

Gonna be interesting for sure...

The usual posters and I in this thread are just saying things (so far) have been MUCH better than the “experts” originally told us. That’s all. I know you’re scared, little pangolin pal but let’s count our blessings.
