The sad part it’s that demand actually came back and way faster than anticipated. The recent spike in new cases freaked out travelers and cancellations started to mount. If you want to look at the silver lining, what we experienced in
late June/early July it’s a sign that demand can (and will) come back fast too, but unfortunately not for the next few months. That’s why I think furlough numbers will be curbed since the company probably wants to be ready to react quickly. It’s a tread off gamble, but I think in a few months people will be ready to fly again, covid or no covid. Death rate is slowing down. I believe we’re not too far out from seeing the true colors of this pandemic. In the meantime brace for turbulence ahead.
