Corporate travel, however, is going to take a hit until we have an effective vaccine. Fortunately that doesn't affect us here at Spirit, but the legacies are going to be hurting for awhile. Facebook just announced no more large events thru June 2021.

For the foreseeable future, I think this is going to become the new normal for corporate America. The social justice warriors will create some kind of social responsibility campaign and pressure large companies to limit travel and large gatherings which are not absolutely required. Large companies will have a gun held to their head and be forced to either participate or face mass amounts of public scrutiny and boycotts, much like we see with the alphabet people every June and the inundation of pink every October. I don't think it will be permanent but it will likely prevail in the interim until we get a vaccine.

Wishful thinking IMO.

Sounds like there is a furlough in your future.

I know that’s what the author says. I just don’t see it. I expect people to bw tired of being cooped up and want to get away to
the beach etc., most businesses will take longer imo. Sure some will come back but i
expect that to be very low.

Looking forward to sticking it to you again when this turns around. Go have a drink with Parker and you better offer to pick up the Uber, with that dui dumbass leader of yours.

look, if anybody has a crystal ball as to what travel will come back first, or if it comes back quickly (it better start to come back before Oct-1), etc. etc needs to quit their airline job and become a hedge fund manager where obviously your skills will be better used.

this includes journalists and free lancers on Seeking Alpha who get paid $10 for some article they wrote.

Exactly. It's called having a credit card, and getting there cheap will be the name of the game. Most people don't give a damn about complimentary pretzels and soda at this point.

Well I guess agree to disagree then. My wife works for a large consulting firm and they are just waiting for the green light to get consultants traveling again. I’m sure they’re not the only ones.

I also think that an initial uptick in business travel when things start improving will boost the confidence in leisure travelers that it’s safe to travel again and jumpstart the leisure market.
