It can all be traced to social media. It’s absolute poison.

^^ Yup!! Been saying this for years. Social Media has been the most toxic thing to hit our society in my lifetime at least.

C19?

come on, I know you can be lazier than that! Why don’t you just call it “19”.


I heard cases of 19 is going down in the state of Texas is that true?

When this is all over and you look in the mirror in a decade or more, people are going to think it was absolutely crazy that we destroyed the economy, piled on debt that will take generations to pay for by trying to protect everyone instead of just the at risk.
So many will be furloughed, then elect the radical left to office, raise taxes, pile on more debt, pay for all the social causes, open the borders, enact the Green New Deal, emissions for airliners, Airbus already test flying pilotless airliners, less jobs to come back to, This will change travel just like 9/11 did. Many will have their career set back a decade. It’s a cycle.
If you think growth will return to pre Covid levels anytime soon, you are fooling yourself. Many waited decades to see the growth we finally had in this industry. That ship has now sailed and the growth that will return will be slow.

So you think that people that die of cancer, heart disease, and auto accidents CONTINUE to fly?

can you cite a reference for that, because with the exception perhaps of a single trip to the ancestral crypt, it seems...unlikely.

You’re not very bright are you? So are you saying that cancer or heart disease creates public panic in that passengers en mass will stop flying for fear of getting said diseases from sitting in a jet? Or that Disney shuts down due to fear of contracting cancer while riding on Space Mountain? Dude, you really need to go back to junior college and learn some debate tactics. You’re pretty week. I hope you fly planes better than you try and debate a point.

Internet pro tip - if you’re gonna call into question someone’s intelligence, be *very* sure you don’t have any spelling or grammatical errors in your post.
