“I think what you're going to see is a multi-year resurgence in travel that's going to continue," Bastian said. "And I don't see anything in the economic outlook that suggests that travel is going to be stalled.”

The nature of the airline business (exceptionally high fixed costs) means that you cannot practically operate with an economic model which would be resilient in the face of the largest of black swans (ex covid). But managers need to recognize that swans do happen, and need to be prepared to adapt to at least medium-sized ones.

I have a long career left. The weakening of the dollar and our debt situation concerns me more than our individual airlines. I believed for a long time that as long as other countries bought our debt, we’d be ok. I’m really not so sure anymore. It’s depressing and there are good arguments on both sides, but I feel like the walls are closing in.
