TC fire and rehire statement may work for a gradual recovery but in a rapid one it will struggle.
You are missing the point. Doesn’t matter whether it’s a fast recovery or a slow one. EK and every other airline on the planet has to survive until a recovery starts.
All well and good saying they’ll have trouble expanding in X months or years. The industry is f****d until a vaccine arrives or the virus dies off (like SARS). Planning for a recovery is irrelevant until then.
No point having an acceptance speech ready when you don’t even finish the race!!!
