If you have supporting data, I'd legit be interested in seeing it. Any number of mathematical and statistical runs I've put against the TSA screening data show a full recovery by mid next year, barring any outside influences. With what is open vs. not currently, all three analysis (linear regression, three parameter curve fit, and growth rate) I've done so far have resulted in screening numbers > 1m by October 1st.
Multiple unknowns exist, of course. The positive effects of multiple states opening up between now and then, theme parks and cruise lines opening, aren't accounted for. Likewise, the negative impact of a potential "second wave" or cumbersome airport screening procedures aren't accounted for either.
So again, if you data supporting the notion that traffic levels won't be anywhere near normal by Oct 1 (and the TSA screening count surely isn't it at this point in time), I'm legit interested in seeing it.

No idea if they're right or not, and I've only said that the published TSA data doesn't reject a return to normal-ish numbers by Oct 1. Why throw the shade?

I’m nor saying CV isn’t real, but we accept a certain amount of risk everyday of our lives. At some point hiding from the risk causes more harm than managing life with it.

As things open in the next two to four weeks. I bet we see a rapid recovery from our 10% numbers to 50% or 55%. It will be a grind past that. A bunch of people are so freaked out that they don't want to leave their houses. It will take a while, with no large "second wave" for us to get up past 75%. I'm predicting 75%-80% by May '21. If the virus is contained could see 100% by spring '22. I have a degree in flying so you know I'm right.

Remember, the recovery of international flying truly is beyond our control. I’m not actually sure what percentage of the TSA numbers were driven by international flying before coronavirus (perhaps someone with a degree in flying could help me with that ) but those numbers will likely be slower to return.

I'm sure someone smarter than me can take this data, extrapolate it out, and answer that question.
