Even economy is more expensive than AA first class at $1100.
The airlines will have to make up for their losses in the first half of the year by overcharging in the 2nd half if this is over by then. They would be foolish to offer big discounts for travel months from now and end up losing money the whole year rather than only half. If it continues into the summer, then they will cut capacity in the fall or have to offer steep discounts to get people back on the planes.
