Airlines are presently flying 50 percent to service 20 percent of last years pax. The trick is to add capacity in the right places. When we get to 50 percent airlines will be at 70-80 percent. AA already reduced staff 10 pct. Further attrition will happen. There’s a chance that furloughs will not happens at AA or will be minimal.
This is caveman math, but if demand comes back to 50% PC that means every airline is roughly 50% overmanned, correct? That sounds like a lot of furloughs. Our aligned goal, no matter what your political affiliation, is to convince people to fly on airlines during an active pandemic. Study after study shows that if everyone wears masks and keeps their distance where able, the virus will likely stagnate, or possible burn out. People are social and follow the crowd, so if your crowd advocates complacency, it'll probably be much worse for you. Literally every real-world scenario has shown this to be true; Sweden, Brazil, Florida, Arizona, Iran, etc. Our jobs depend on the outcome, so I care about the reality far more than the politics.

I noticed everything seems to happen in arrival/departure banks. There's times of the day where you can barely get a word on frequency and other times where it's a ghost down. Pre-COVID it felt more evenly distributed with of course the usual rush hour peaks

We've been above 500k the last four days. I suspect we will be above 600k by the next big travel day.

% YOY wise it has held steady at 21% over the last 4 days though. Hopefully we get a break out from that level and continue the growth.
