Facility Downgrades / Upgrades

Are we placing bets that there will be a slew of downgrades after COVID-19 blows over?

you can be sure of it, gotta be happy the agency upgraded the places that earned it though.

I thought someone said they will waive downgrades due to the reduced staffing due to COVID? Hopefully that is the case and no downgrades in 2020.

I’ll bet they don’t downgrade anyone who wasn’t already getting one. Problem is with how far out the effects of this could reach, they can’t just stop downgrades forever. Where do you draw the line?

Some of us are idiots and embrace the chaos.

You are a better and more patient person than I could ever be.

Is DAB an ass kicker? Looks pretty wild.

From what I've been told UAL is bumping up their traffic next spring/summer (delayed this year due to the 737 max issues) and that could at least get them closer. No idea how far away they are at this point though.

They thought

Is SMF legit a level 6 now? I can't find anywhere other this thread that says so.

So the facilities that were 804'd in Michigan dropped a collective 7 levels, and the gaining facility (AZO) was upgraded by 1?

... seems about right...

Two level drop, that’s painful!
