Maybe I am misunderstanding you, or we are in different parts of the world, but what do you expect from the airlines?

Aren't they doing what we all do in a crisis? Scale back expenses so to (hopefully) weather the storm?

The airline I fly for sees destination after destination close and they will stop 90% of the total flights. Why would you expect different?

Rest of the post I totally agree with..
