Several airlines have already said this could be several years from now until they can serve dividends again, which is likely to put off quite a few shareholders. And if enough of them sell, I'll let you imagine what happens next.

For every seller there has to be a matching buyer.
But yeah, they will all be hurting for several years at a minimum.

I'll buy some airline stock if it drops down low enough, I've been eyeing Boeing stock too. I'm in for the long haul and I know it'll come back up eventually.

As long as people can get a seat they won't care, in fact many will find it very comfortable, most people love a half filled plane. The thing with the app is that most people do not want it, have already resisted it, and consider it an affront to personal liberty. The airlines know this, which is why they won't mandate it, nor will the government.

Sure, that will be the end of cheap air travel. Flying all planes with < 50% fill level is not economically viable. For no airline in the world. So, prices will go up (more than double, I expect) and many carriers will go bust.

I'll bet the win win corporats are currently flying about in their private jets
to 'secret' meetings with other respected fellow dirtbags, behind closed doors in swank hotels
to discuss who gets what part of the crumbled world pie very soon,
at bargain basement prices.. maybe a dollar or two just above FREE
and this time Corona gets the blame for the 'global economic downturn', and no one else,
how do you prosecute and imprison Mr/Ms Corona, right? ;)
Bastards thought of every angle this time around,
even the conspiracy theorist clowns will have no evidence to work with, real or imagined :horse:
oh well, 1930 Reloaded...
we can tell the grandkids in 2066 how we copped it sweet in the Great/est Depression of 2020/21/22
and tell em they have the easy life..
FlashForward to 2066:
"Sorry to hear that grandpa, but our Edu-Phone history app states the lot of you were fear riddled suckers and troll herded idiots,
and deserved what you got for not seeking alternative information, nor bothering to verify the information given or their sources.
So save us the old schooler battler bs Gramps, and hurry up and cash out,
so we can stick your whining med junkie ass in the ground,
and flog off this dump you call home and split the dough,
or build some high rise shoe box apartments and live pretty"
Wait till they find out Gran and Grandpa blew the house at the pokies, and paying rent.. Priceless :D

The only people I wish this virus on are the people who deny it exists or that it's not serious. Them and orange toddler Trump.
