There will be plenty people who come out of this fine and will want to travel as soon as they can.
Likewise. The majority of my closest friends will come out of this with more money than they would’ve done, with expenditure on gym memberships, weekly golf hacks, petrol, sky sports, beer, curry nights and every other recreational activity all going into savings/holiday fund accounts instead.
Judging by the doom and gloom on this forum, I’d say the majority of members either have no friends outside of the aviation industry or have spent the majority of their new found free time watching the news.
