There’s a thought that if he dropped all border restrictions then domestic travel would pretty much automatically return to pre pandemic levels. This is despite every other part of the world that has not restricted travel has seen a massive drop off in demand while the virus is spreading throughout that country. For instance, with the exception of the remotely located Hawaii, not for one moment have any of the other 49 US states enacted borders, yet 100,000 US aviation jobs have been lost this year. The only way things get back to normal is with the ending of this pandemic, not quickie openings of borders.
Of those 100,000 , how many would you say were related to the International sector of their operations?? My impression was that domestic was still humming along at a moderate pace.
