As cheap as fuel is they could still be profitable if they aren't burdened with too much in fixed type of expenses like pensions, facility rent, and plane leases or loan payments on their planes. If their labor is largely a variable component and airport costs are based mainly on arrivals and departures then those should survive. No telling what the pilots, flight attendants, and mechanics unions could be demanding though. Or if agreements with airports are long or short term with flexibility related to volumes. And if they have too many planes parked and out of service.

I think what also needs to be looked at is does international travel get banned unless you quarantine at a military base.

Marginally useful information on how airlines are handling flight attendant staffing right now. The flight she worked had 20 passengers.

Thanks for posting this. It shows what the new travel may look like for a while but even more, it shows how much this flight attendant (and most Americans) want to go back to work.

OK... without going to Duckduckgo or your favorite browser... what was the lady's name that was in that commercial? One of the myriad of brain cells wasted on useless trivia.

There was once a Judy's in West Knoxville. I'm drawing a blank on where it was. Maybe just west of Gallaher View Road?

They were the same as Wendys just a different girl and different colors. Wendys eventually took over the Judys. It's fun to see the the real old timers on here.

It was originally a knock off of Wendy's. I ate there at least once, but don't remember where it was. It was only there for a year plus or minus. It might have been in the Buddy's BBQ building at KP and GV.

Video on the juggling to keep air cargo moving the last month. I wouldn't have guessed which the busiest airport in the world was in April.

Copied from the RF. Found one tidbit here interesting...

To infinity, and beyond!

The economy is not screwed. Prior to the breakout the only issue we were seeing globally was that central banks were steeling in to assist the overnight repo market.
I work for FEE and I can assure you that the keynesian economics theory Allows for fiat currency printing at infinity. As long as the “people” accept fiat then inflation is fine and a good thing at the pace we have seen it historically. (Check out the FEE podcast for more great info on the world economy if you are into this kind of stuff, it’s really good.)

I remember getting a bag of Crystals for a couple of bucks.


And being full when I finished 'em.
