Interesting observation. Wonder if more people are flying or if the flight consolidations are working. I keep seeing stats that say TSA is screening more people nationwide. For us and most of our customers, we're stuck at home until at least June.

My first few trips back I'm bringing Starbucks cards for the crew. I normally bring chocolates around Christmas or if I'm going to Hawaii, but I figure everyone could use a little appreciation even if it's a normal two hour PHX-PDX trip.
It seems odd when we've been told to limit or avoid "non-essential" travel, but I think leisure travel will rebound far faster than business travel and my guess is that the uptick we're seeing in travelers is due to the at least partial opening of most states.
