“Sadly I agree with him. People are going to be very leery about flying and breathing recycled air”
...and notice how he doesn’t even ATTEMPT to deal with the biggest (and most legitimate) fear people have regarding spending 12 hours in a tube - having to breathe the same air over and over again. And all to save a tiny bit of fuel...
“Well, let me test your theory against mine.”

What exactly has Boeing management been focusing on since moving to Chicago? Buying off Democrat politicians and procurement officers at the Pentagon?
“It will take two to three years for travel to return to 2019 levels”.

Maybe he should have his airplanes crash a few more times, use fake data to justify their haphazard inspections. That should bring the people around to want to fly again.
