And then you have to ask yourself: Would that be a bad thing?

Obviously, it will be bad for people whose livelihoods depend on it, but
it will probably be a good thing for mankind in general.

They can still fly cargo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plm2H9j3hQM


I heard that they often make more profit from the cargo in
the belly than they do from the passengers sitting above.
Cargo is lucrative, especially now that consumers just
expect near-instant delivery.

But can cargo sustain ALL the airlines ? I doubt it. A few
are going to implode and that will be that. New carriers
will appear to replace them once the market is in shape to
support large-scale travel again.
