Hub airports seem pretty busy whenever I'm there, but it seems like most of the arrivals and departures are coming in big blocks which might make it seem like there is more going on. Still lots of planes parked everywhere so we aren't quite out of the woods yet, but it sounds like more and more are being put back online.

Still a lot of aircraft parked, and those that are flying are not flying full normal days. Yes, higher loads. But TSA numbers are only creeping up right now. Need to see a higher rate of increase. Hopefully things opening up will help that along.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see that, too, but the fact any market segment is getting close to 50% just 2-3 months after the worst of it is a good sign overall.
Time will tell if it's fool's gold or not.
