this may be a dumb question, but has anybody else thought about the decline in air travel coinciding with the rise in fuel prices for those of us who refuse to fly, and drive instead? with companies being able to hold virtual meetings nowadays, business travel is down, and recreational travelers choosing alternate ways to travel, the airlines hafta be hurting, reducing the numbers of flights and packing their fewer routes to the max with passengers, some of whom are using airlines rewards so not paying for tickets..."too big to fail" has/will come into play, and the fed has/will prop them up again...in my opinion, the airlines have caught themselves owing to their benefactor, so must dance to the tune being played...
In the past few months my husband and I have driven to and from Florida twice. About an 1100 mile drive each way. Used to fly, but we won't mask up, and the drive wasn't bad.
Thank you for sticking to your guns. If more people had refused to play along, Trump would be in the White House right now, and we wouldn't be suffering like we are. I know it's a sacrifice, so thank you for being willing to make it.
I do think that a lot/all of what is being done now is an attempt to finalize the Prison Planet. To reduce/eliminate your ability to travel, and especially to travel long distance/internationally.
You can live a middling/decent life on Cell Block 9. But don't get uppity and think you can leave Cell Block 9.
I was looking at trips to Europe for my folks and the only reasonably priced ones involved making 2 stops on the flight back.
Those are like 850 and even with direct flights to their country, a flight back from said country (even with a layover in the same country) with no other stops bumps the price up to 1000-2000

Ditto that
Also, if you DO fly, I think it's important when you have 2 pilots, ONE of them is not vaxxed.
If the vaxxed pilot has a heart attack or stroke while flying, the unvaxxed pilot can still take over.
Same here.
I've taken three 1,100 mile, each way, drives in the last year.

People aren't up against work weeks or work hours like in the past.
I think I'll take up horseback riding.
sounds good, but be prepared for higher prices on "horse quality hay" due to rising costs of fuel, fertilizer and seed...
Airlines are having trouble getting pilots, plus there are no rental cars available. You may as well drive.
I've got over half a million miles waiting to burn a hole in Delta's wallet once they remove the mask bullshit.
Gonna leave a mark. Maybe not a huge one, but a mark anyway. Gonna die with 0 miles to use!
