It's terrible news for those working in the airlines as well as aircraft and engine builders. I have some empathy. Thousands in related businesses that rely on travel are affected. By the way, I like airplanes, traveling to interesting places, and seeing friends when I get there.
businesses have found working online and doing business via skype or even cell phones has been working for them, and employees and employers are getting used to it..not all business necessitates travel to another location,and skype and zoom and the like are a cheaper and safer alternative..
The flying model has changed, airlines need to adjust or die, they need to improve the features and comfort for the leisure traveler, or they will find other ways to get to there desired destinations.
