Who on earth do you think will be going flying.

I'm quite sure the Government has worked out there is no point in pouring vast sums into airlines that wont be able to survive anyway. Its pointless.

Some of you people are very deluded. Your flying days are over. Get used to it.
I remember that sort of nonsense being bandied about after 911 and again after the financial crisis.

Yes, there will be a reset, but you are talking about the entire civil aviation business going to the wall. Airports, manufacturing and everything that it supports.
Not going to happen.
