Flying has become ever more unpleasant over the last several decades. Between the security theater after 9/11, shrinking seats, more crowded planes, surly "flight attendants", it was an experience I tried to avoid. But now, with pandemic-theater thrown in? Forget it. If I can't drive somewhere, I'm not going there.
People ARE stopping flying. The masses that put up with the now-tyrannical air waitress bullies and 18- hour masking sessions were never going to quit flying, but a large enough number of people that CHOOSE to fly are choosing NOT to fly as to cause the airline CEOs to start begging TPTB to reverse mask policies and vax passports because their stocks are bleeding to death.
What do you mean,"we"? ;)
