Ted Reed has a lot of experience covering USAir thru American. I remember his interviews with CEO Steve Wolf and that was 1996-98. He's been covering airlines since 1989 so 31 years experience. Doesn't mean you have to agree with what he writes thou. Remember, no one is an expert on a major pandemic's effect on the economy unless they're old enough to remember 1918 :p

Here's the link again.


... in December 1917, the railroads were placed under the authority of the United States Railroad Administration, a de facto nationalization that lasted until March 1920. The timing hit an industry at high tide: In 1920, the U.S. system would see its highest total, 47.3 billion passenger-miles...
