Some such comments are clearly warranted, just we have started to see quite a bit more in the recent 2-3 weeks, and the language is getting increasingly aggressive, as if we were not talking about among the hardest hit segment of economy.
I am a teacher who loves travel and travel as much as I can during the school holidays. That's why I am on this forum and have been for over 10 years now. This year, my partner and I were due to travel for about 89 days abroad, all of which is at risk of big losses here (16 those 89 have already been cancelled so far). I am not sure why there is some sort of assumption that the only people here are richer, well off business travellers who can afford to donate significant chunks of money to airlines.
The current situation is unprecedented and jobs people maybe felt were safe a month ago and thus people were booking away trips, are maybe now not so safe anymore.
