The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a virtual halt in air travel, leading to an unprecedented number of flight cancellations globally and forcing airlines to book hefty losses. As the industry grapples with the crisis, Kelly said in a video posted on the airline’s website that the company was offering employees more options to opt-in for leaves as well as voluntary separation packages.

Quit the P/R for the airlines. These guys got billions in bailouts to recover. The world is changing and so must they.

Good time to tear about half the seats out of each plane and quit packing people in like sardines. Greedy bastards.

Poor things

Yes, as per the current scenario..
