    Eh. My impression is that most civilian air travel is not truly necessary. Tourism, and stuff that can be done with remote work.

    I worry about stuff like food prices for the poor. Somebody not being able to fly on vacation - not so much.

      I’m thinking of a scenario of a dying family member and not being able to make it to them before they pass away.

      Flying isn’t just for business or tourism. But at the same time, people have had the luxury to be able to live far in distance from their families and friends, because it might just be a short flight away.

      In California, I’ve heard of people working in Silicon Valley and living in Burbank, flying every day to go to work or maybe twice a week.

      That luxury needs to stop. But it should not happen all of a sudden.
