The Coronavirus won’t be affecting the economy then. It’s not the Black Death, life will go on. Any hits to the economy will be short term. Yes some flying will be drawn back but that’ll be a temporary thing.
Now is the time to be looking at fuel efficient aircraft and routes that are a competitive advantage to be implemented when the economy is stronger. Manufacturers will also be desperate to sell aircraft at cheaper prices too.
And you’d be want to ensure current mainline pilots will be flying them. If a deal involving MORE pay ($400k) is knocked back in the current climate with pilots around the world having hours cut and contracts cancelled it will look incredibly stupid.
