He’s not worried about furloughs ‘cause he got a job offer from CNN. Every time a headline makes people run for the hills they get an incentive bonus.

On a more serious note, I think we might be over staffed by 700 but that doesn’t necessarily translate into 700 furloughs. This would leave the company with no reaction capacity and a retrain nightmare if you have to bring them back quickly. We now have a much better grip on how fast demand can come back. When the company announced 550 flights a day (basically overnight) they weren’t wrong. I think they nailed. The second spike came too soon though and rained on our parade. I’m pretty confident we’ll see demand come back as fast as it did just don’t know when. The vaccine is not far out, at least not for emergency use approval. Having said all this, anything it’s possible at this point.
