What has become the Transatlantic divide in how to deal with CoVid19
A number of airlines in the US is practicing middle seat free on flights to provide some degree of social distancing. No airline in Europe have taken this aboard to try to improve the public confidence in that flying can be safe weven in pandemic times.
Although Ryanair was once modelled on Southwest, it's leader have been outspoken on how unwilling they are on doing anything to placate its potential customers worries.. While Sothwest is practicing middle seat free and have promised its potential passengers to continue to do so.
At some stage even European airlines will hopefully come to the conclusion that even bargain basement fares is not going to entice the large majority of the audience back to flying. And with the capacities they have built up they can't live on the 25% of the population that don't care and will travel anyhow and anyway.
Even if they could bully governments to lift restrictions, they can't bully the nervous and wait and see majority of the public to fly for fun when there is to much risk and uncertainty involved.
The only thing that will influx them is if airlines show they care, and also about other things than laying their grubby hands on our money. For some companies this might be a struggle since they for years have done their outmost to show us otherwise. And continue to do so even in these pandemic times. I'm looking at you Ryanair. For others their is hope and for first mover it could be a real winner.
