The current Covid-19 situation is far from over and is unlikely to be over for the next year or two.
Well I outlined all the similarities just 4 posts above yours. Did you see it?
I did not stop flying at all and even flew the night of 9/11, WAW-LHR. But you are completely wrong when you write "most of use soon realized that it was a one-time event..." That is very, very far from the truth and ignores both public opinion and all the massive efforts to work to prevent such an event from repeating itself. Many billions were spent over the first few years to prevent a repeat event. What happened on 9/11 not only affected us severely for many years, its effects are still with us today in the aviation business.
