Cargo will be good for a while, might see a downturn with the economy or maybe not if this business accelerates the shift away from brick and mortar.



You're but the issues are much deeper than tech implementation.

For a variety of reasons, face-to-face interpersonal communications will remain critical for any significant relationships and transactions. That's my gut feel, and JP Morgan recently published words to that effect.

The big three + HAL are royally screwed. On the domestic front, you can make the case either way as to whether the middle of the pack or the ULCCs are better positioned.



The stickers won't even stick to bags anymore. One thing I miss about the old days. Our crew rooms still have old school bags on shelves, I'm guessing from retirees. Today everybody has a kevlar cooler full of Kale.
Why is HAL screwed? I’d imagine if leisure travel returns first then they should see a good bump to mainland traffic (when they restart of course) and Japan seems to be getting back to normal rather quickly.
