I certainly don't have the answers but I am certainly more optimistic of a medium term recovery, trying to predict 15 years out from now is insanity. The vacuum created by the airlines that have gone bust will be filled by new airlines or expanding surviving airlines.

The only thing that is certain is that the sh1t well and truly hit the fan this time, the next 2-5 years no one really knows.
I don't know what he's basing his numbers on either, but I think your view of the economy is bloody naive. CV19 was just the straw that broke the camels back, debt hasn't gone down, but risen massively since the GFC, which was a rise from the late 80s to early 90s, and so on. If it wasn't CV19 it would have been something else, the economy has been stretched to buggery because of debt levels so there was no room to move.

That there will be a correction on the level of air travel, I think, is a no brainer.
