Well I think your sorta right. I think you will see some of the flight departments that probably shouldn't exist anyway vanish. Either the ones who only fly 100 hours a year or the ones that don't just never seem to have enough money to run their old beat up Lear.

But it's sorta a zero sum game. These execs and rich people still need lift. So while they may close theirs down they will charter and those planes need pilots too.

So I suspect the charter market will pick up.

If you notice a decade ago most of these charter outfits were two pilots per plane on call 24/7 slave driving. Now they all seem to be offering schedules of some sort.
