Anyone already at the airlines with insights about the projected impact at your company would be great. Although the dynamics are changing so rapidly, at this point, who really knows the ramifications, tomorrow, in a week, in 2021...
1. No more danger traveling than going to a mall. Do a lot of hand washing and don’t unnecessarily get in anyone’s face. And again, most young people - at least those healthy enough to pass a Class 1 physical - aren’t in a whole lot of danger from this.
2. Air travel is unlikely to ‘blow up.’ International will take a hit (already has) because people don’t want to be sick or even quarantined in faraway places with strange sounding names. Domestically it might shrink but it’ll be temporary.

Recommendation: Get your seniority started - even if you knew ahead of time you were going to get furloughed.
