Delta To Retire 777 Fleet - AVweb

I see the same thing as well. Just gauging from people around me, no one is excited about going back to work, even less back to normal. It sounds as if people tasted quality of life and work from home. Hard to make them go back unless an economic disaster happens next, which most likely will.

I think we will always fly but more business. Companies will always want us to fly. I have a backlog on international flights waiting for the end of the pandemic. As to personal flying, that is where the crunch will be. People will want more affordable flying with more comfort. Seeing airline business models onw and how they never were able to do in the past, it will be a point of contention for years to come.

I suspect we will see consolidations as we always do in times of crisis. A low-cost airline will emerge, maybe Norwegian, and have a solid business model that turns a profit. The bigger airlines will fight with more comfort without lowering their prices at first and eventually create low-cost subsidiaries to compete. Now, where have I seen this before? :slight_smile:
