I'm not buying this analysis for a few reasons. Our revenue is diversified among more than just passenger revenue more so than the others. Our corporate premium customers make up a greater percent of the revenue so as they come back our revenues accelerate faster. The federal assistance already negates a 0 revenue environment.

We have no unions except for the pilots and dispatchers, thus more flexibility. People will be working less days per week no negotiations required. We just had 13,000 volunteer to take unpaid leaves. Just borrowed a bunch ($5.6B?) to get through cash crunch. Lower debt. I read another analysis that had us as 2nd best after SWA. Now everyone has some government money and most will make it. I don’t see any majors going away.
I also don’t see the point in arguing who has the prettiest puppy right now. But if it makes the OP or other airline employees feel better - go ahead.

Ditto. Had already checked the box for SIL in May but, now they can suck it. I'll take reserve guarantee until they give me a furlough letter.
