Those out of work won’t be travelling.
Those stood down and subsequently reemployed will have burned up their annual leave and will take 6-12 months to get any back
Those who are able to travel might be a little cautious as I cannot imagine many travel insurance companies covering cancellations from a localised reemergence of COVID.
We are also looking at this situation through aviation tinted glasses, in one of if not the worst affected industries where we’re in an echo chamber surrounded by people that are either sitting at home or trying to find work in unrelated industries, with little prospect of getting our jobs back in the short to medium term.
I have many friends in other industries completely unrelated to aviation who are not suffering nearly as
much as us in aviation who have a completely different view on the world than us. Amongst them is a building pent up desire to travel, be it domestically or internationally. Minimal reduction in pay because they’re still doing their jobs, just from home instead of in an office. Actually saving money because of reduced ability to spend it on leisure activities at the moment, to the point where buying more property if house prices drop, or pondering whether now is the time to grow their share portfolios.
