So how BADLY will [Testing] hurt the Big 3?
Because all these tests have false positives and negatives. That’s basic clinical science.
So if you are an employer, are you going to let a valued business exec go overseas where you might lose him/her for weeks of quarantine when he isn’t even sick? Or just tell him/her to zoom it?
Do you as a parent want to take your kids on a vacation, knowing that if any family member has a false positive (or, for that matter, a TRUE positive) they will be refused readmission back to their own country?
I realize some airlines are desperate for the return of international and business flying, but this seems an unlikely way to get it. In fact, it seems like it will be highly counterproductive to that goal.

This is what Hawaii has been doing for a long while now.
I don't know what load factors and total pax to and from Hawaii have been, but it seems like a way to find the answer to your question.?
Until there's massive numbers of people vaccinated, international travel will remain very low im sure

Not sure why A4A is pushing for this, I think it will just deter people from traveling internationally. I know I won’t be going anywhere out of the country. Not worth the risk of potentially testing positive and having to stay in a foreign country for an extra 2 weeks.

That's my issue. I like to bounce down to Mexico for a long weekend to get warm then come home. Now I wont be able to do that. I know others who do the same thing.
when are we going to stop being so afraid?

you can get a false negative. But not a false positive. According to my father who is a Doctor of emergency medicine.
