Who the heck wants to take their kids to Disney with masks, distancing, reservations for certain rides and attractions? Some do but the numbers aren't really going to explode until the majority of people in this country decide that they've had enough and pull the masks off and start living again regardless of what their local, state or fed pols are telling them.
But, if 1 to 1.5 is what we can sustain, I'll take it. It seems it has reduced the bleeding and some carriers are turning a very minor profit or close to it. LCCs and ULCCs in particular.
I agree, and I also believe hefty price increases are possible because all who want to fly are flying and are willing to pay a premium. We had the $30 a ticket crowd to fill seats and add capacity earlier. Enough pricing power Is here to increase revenue at the current capacity until the rest of the flying public are motivated to start flying again, and capacity can get back to normal.
