I think this is due to the uncertainty about when any semblance of normal will be possible in the US. The virus situation is continuing to get worse and we're heading in to a season when it was originally supposed to get even worse. It could get really bad. It may take more than a year to be able to get to a point where there is more park capacity than demand. I think these cuts are more reflective of this uncertainty than anything else. For a comparison with live entertainment, look at Broadway. Those shows aren't going to start back up until at least next June. This isn't a short term disruption.true but is it a proportionate response? Eventually we will know those numbers - how much they lost, how much of a lift they created by cutting these positions. And it can't be that hard to figure out how much they save by not paying people. I'm just wondering if this slash and burn is totally necessary for park survival as far as the numbers go or if it is just a corporate/exec strategy.
