Telsboy you are wrong to say that there are no worries or restrictions regarding seating on trains and busses. There is a serious risk and that is why for example the government in Germany has introduced a rule that everyone wear face masks on public transport. But it only works if everyone does it. The basic fact that a lot of people don't seem to have understood is that the mask provides the wearer with very little protection, but everyone else is considerably better protected if that person is infectious. The example I was given was that if you get on your packed train wearing a mask you are probably reducing your risk by less then 10%, but if you and everyone else is wearing masks your risk is reduced by over 90%. If that is true then I think it is very relevant to how airlines restart their services and in turn to the overall topic, which is should the government bailout Loganair and of course other airlines.
