That’s fair to be concerned, we have plenty of things to keep our eyes on - greedy corporate managers, union busting politicians, regional conflicts/wars, automation advances, etc. I just don’t think it warrants the level of concern as others do. Within Europe a bit more so, but here in States we don’t have the rail infrastructure to support much of a movement away from flying. Just isn’t feasible. People are going to keep flying international only a handful won’t go because of so called flight shaming or personal tree hugging reasons. Won’t be enough to impact business and maybe even open a few more seats for us lowly nonrevs.
