Really? In this industry maybe, but in the real world, many people are still working (from home) on full pay, and spending far less on things such as eating/drinking out, recreational activities, petrol and other bills. The majority of people that I know outside the aviation industry will come out the back of this with more money. None of the cars in my cul-de-sac have moved for 5 days.
I think the holiday companies will do just fine. After weeks trapped indoors, everybody is going to want their summer holiday. Winter bookings are going to be at an all time high, with many of the holidays that were booked for April-June being deferred until later in the year. As somebody else mentioned, it's business travel that will suffer as companies realise they don't need to pay extortionate amounts on J-class travel for a meeting that could take place over the phone.
