Exactly, in a conventional recession the business travelers and spendy pax might have to tighten their belts and fly an LCC. Although the economy has undoubtedly taken a hit, it's largely waiters and waitresses who took the brunt of it. Wealthier travelers still have the money to fly the legacies, or they'll just skip it altogether and do a Zoom meeting. Problematically, it's largely that confidence in air travel has dropped among every socioeconomic demographic.

It was mentioned that the tourist-centric destinations we often serve will tend to open up faster than the more businessy international destinations served by the legacies. Further, supposing San Pedro Sula or wherever takes a while to open up, who's to say we can't repurpose that aircraft to bolster current domestic destinations or add low hanging domestic fruit we've been eyeing for a while? I feel like Spirit would do well in SAT, ELP, and ABQ.
