Default Domestic air travel

When do you think all Domestic air travel will be shutdown? Monday?

Same. Land in base Tuesday AM but then finish strong with an island turn. Would prefer the cancellation after I land Tuesday am, but before the turn.

It’s in every state now. What would a travel ban do at this point?

Save the airlines a lot of money by not having to fly around empty planes. Cheaper to pay guys reduced line values rather than burn gas for no revenue.

No airline wants to blink first. Much easier to coordinate it with the federal government so everyone suspends service.

This has only just begun. April and May load factors will be interesting. Right now people are finishing their previously booked travel plans but will be hunkering down in the future.

Flatten the curve by reducing infection rate. The less vectors in motion the better we can handle this with our medical resources.

Gas is very cheap. We still have a lot of people flying.

Why dont we just take those who are at risk and move them out of society and society goes back to normal?

If you have medical issues limit exposure. If you Are normal and get sick, stay home. Instead of putting everyone into quarantine sick or not.
