The reality is that people need money to travel, premium class more money so successful business people and retirees. Many businesses will go broke here very quickly, retirees have seen their super go backwards, 80,000 people lost their jobs yesterday alone, landlords will either get no rent or reduced rent for a long time. Realistically without a quick return to normality unemployment in Australia will probably reach 15%. The AUS$ has also lost a lot of value so IMO there will not be anywhere near the demand for international travel. The wheels of commerce have jammed up badly, this is very very serious. My estimation is that for the next 18 months Qantas will survive with 14 787s and some of their 330s.
