Wish hard mate, nothing short of deliberate mass poisoning is going to make anything like that happen Time is running out for the perps, people everywhere are beginning to get fed up and will want BS vendor blood soon :scared: Not good being on the receiving end of short stick people with knackered businesses, losing their homes put up as security, debt owing on top, no immediate employment prospects, and trashed family relationships as a result There'll be a LOT of unhappy campers like that everywhere, the perps better start filling their ancestors dusty carpetbags asap, and hire a fast boat to.. ? :popcorn: |

Nor is it nice hearing about the people you knew dying. I'm literally currently listening to a work college who has been knocked for 6 by it. Some c*** coughed over him in the supermarket. It's the only thing he can put it down to, but hits 9 out of 10 checklist items for CovId19. He has a wife and 3 kids. EDIT: and another friend just posted on FB a family member has lost their battle with Covid this morning. |

Hint: There's a "Don't show <idiot> posts" feature in here. Works a treat for those of us who can resist clicking the "Show me <idiot> post" button. |

Back to the original topic: If there's one thing I can see as a plus in the current situation, it is that my cooking has improved a lot, now that I'm preparing all meals for the family every day. Doesn't help my waist line, though, it has also "improved" a lot ;) |

Again, likely still government mandated. 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. --- End quote --- 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. --- End quote --- It won't be <50%. Majority of people travel in family groups/couples etc. So if you have a row of 4 seats and 3 people they might leave the 4th one free etc. Many airlines have already gone bust or will soon go bust regardless of what happens. Any some are already in receivership, in which case getting back operational in any reduced capacity is still good. Also, most airlines also carry cargo, which is at a premium price at the moment. Less people on a flight means more commercial cargo they can carry on that flight. Some airlines are buying old 747's to press into service as cargo planes to stay in business. So reduced passenger numbers doesn't automatically mean they go bust. |
