I agree going to be a long recovery. Several years before profits again. Loads are in the toilet but what’s really bad are the yields. Fares are very low, travel is a real bargain now if you want to go. The airline is still a bit of a mess in terms of staffing but they’ll finally get it under control in a few months.
