You act like practically shutting down the entire global economy for a couple of months will cause people to lose their jobs, for business owners to watch something that they poured their life savings into fail, and for a deep recession to occur. Oh wait, that is exactly what is happening. If we are back to 70% of where we were before the virus by Christmas, I’ll be shocked. Recovery from there will take time. This recovery bill bought the airlines a few months to find out what is left. When the dust settles and the managers can accurately measure what is left, both legacy and regional staffing will be adjusted to meet demand.
