I’ve spoken with a variety of people from pilots, flight attendants, ramp personnel and retail workers at the airport that seem to agree. One interesting thing I heard was that on flights that have enough people, a complaint that has happened now is that if passengers cannot have enough space between each other they say something. I wonder what type of solution can be built to solve this problem that keeps passengers happy as well as keeps a flight profitable. Aside from an increase in fare to cover separation in the aircraft what could be done to appease the traveler? An aircraft has obvious social distancing problems, but it cannot be sustainable to only sell X amount of seats to keep a certain level of safety, be it perceivable or otherwise and remain profitable. At any rate that is above my pay grade and I’ll keep flying so long as they allow me too, but what an unusual dilemma to be presented with. For the sake of returning to some level of normalcy and job security I hope that we can safely move forward from here.
