you'll find that most people actually aren't struggling right now. The people on our estate, none of whom are pilots or involved in aviation in any way, are currently working from home but apart from that it is very much business as usual. It's business as usual for accountants, lawyers etc., in other words middle class professionals who take at least one relatively expensive family holiday a year. It's also business as usual, if that's the way to put it, for the well off retirees who are still planning to head to the Canaries this winter.
Dear God. And there lies the problem. The ''I am alright Jack'' from the top of the hill as thousands upon thousands suffer in abject misery and poverty. 1.6 billion jobs globally lost and the individuals left with nothing to eat and no earning ability. Suggest you have a look at Possil, Maryhill, Liverpool, London, open your eyes and see what is happening with the vast majority who have nothing.

To all in aviation I wish all the very best and seek ways for us all to navigate through this mess.

Round of applause for the well off retirees who will have nothing if this all goes to plan. (Except a Starbucks take away)
