As expected, California is still down 50% in ASMs with no plan to increase capacity at the moment. They said on the call there are still plenty of available seats. Seems they will wait until later into the 2nd half of the year to see if traffic starts to return.
Will be getting up to around 32 flights to Hawaii system which is close to what they had before though the starting points will be different given that OAK-HI service is gone.
Clear that the focus will be on SEA/AK for now.
Transcons down 70% with no plans as expected to install lie flats. They would need to be selling 3/4 of lie flat seats at $1,000+ fares to make it worthwhile and they don't feel they can do that. Doesn't bode well for the near term future of their California transcons as capacity increases on competitors with premium heavy aircraft.
