People are apparently confused between working from home and traveling for business. The former will change as covid19 passes, the latter will be a fraction of what it used to be. Permanently.

Do you really think those 9.99€ tickets purchased 7 months in advance keep the airline afloat? Nah, it's the last minute business flyers buying premium.

Any recent grad or in-training student that hasn't seriously considered changing careers at this point is about to have a tough wake up call of how cyclical this industry is and how low it goes during the bad times. You don't want to be caught on the next downturn (implying there is an upswing after all this) finding out that literally no one cares about flying experience outside of well... flying.
