Isn't the overriding point that in vast, vast majority of cases, the decision to fly under Covid is voluntary, and the potential for exposure is part of the inherent risk in that decision? I think AC has done an acceptable job to this point, make easier by the fact that almost no one was travelling. But, now that summer is in swing, and parents are going to murder their children if they are stuck in the house with them for one more day, leisure travel is going to spike, and planes are going to get fuller. My question is, why is it AC's responsibility to provide social distancing? It's a private business, and not vital local infrastructure like public transit that people depend on to go to work on an ongoing basis (I look forward to the comments about how consultants just HAVE to be there in person to do their job, and it is the responsibility of the airlines to transport them there in a Covid bubble that meets their requirements).

I think AC is doing an acceptable job of informing travellers to the risks, and giving them information about upcoming trips and options should they choose not to travel (and no, not an invitation to relitigate the credits v refunds case yet again). In the end, it's a question of personal responsibility. It isn't AC's job to ensure you don't get Covid, it's their job to take reasonable sanitization and other mitigation measures. You are the person choosing whether you and your family travel by air.
