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.
instead of listening to all the doom in the media, focus on the employment rate which may drop to low 90%, which is still very high. Know of many who will be flying o/s as soon as they can. If they have to wear a mask, no big deal. In todays news, even the greeks, who couldn't organise anything, are opening the greek islands up to tourism in July.
