Our travel agent told us that overseas ticket prices are in a free-fall, some nealry half of what they were last year. THAT, my friends, isn't a sign of recovery in aviation. It is a sign of desperation. Good luck to all that choose to stay in this industry.

Anyone that comes
close to having the financial means to ride on a biz jet is not alerting their travel plans because the airlines are having a sale.
An average Joe like myself may or may not travel depending on the cost of a ticket. I can assure you that anyone I'm flying around isn't going to be altering their plans because the ticket price dropped from $500 to $170.
I'm guessing you're riding in the back with the rest of us because you got a few margin calls, not because the ticket prices dropped.
