Delta's layoff outlook is not as grim as other airlines.

Bastian didn't say how far into the future it will extend its policy but Bastian's comments suggest it could be through the end of the year or into early 2021.

"I'd rather add more flights back and more seats into the market in a safe way than trying to maximize the number of people you can put on an individual airplane,'' he said. "Everyone appreciates it’s not going to last forever,'' he said,"but in the face of a health crisis that space onboard really matters and customers are telling that.''Crushed by coronavirus: Delta's financial performance in the April-June period was dismal

The airline brought in just $1.5 billion in revenue in the April-June quarter, versus $12.5 billion in the same period a year ago as passenger counts plummeted 93%. It posted a net loss of $5.7 billion, compared with a profit of $1.4 billion a year ago. It is the first major airline to report results for the quarter.Bastian, in a stark contrast to most of his rivals, says the airline might not have to lay off any workers despite the crushing coronavirus pandemic.
