My fear is that 20% is extremely optimistic. After 9/11 the legacies furloughed 20%-30% and that didn't have the widespread impact that we are seeing today with NBAA, NCAA along with virtually every major conference and trade show being cancelled and most companies suspending business travel. This is unprecedented.
