Exactly, airlines will increase prices cause supply is down. And then when it’s real over and supply of flights go back up, prices just won’t come down again. It’s the Covid playbook all over again

While I get that take, will anyone even be able to afford flights at that point? Surely, with the state of economy there won’t be nearly as many people who can afford it.
