Death spiral... Lack of business due to covid lack of travel, domestic travel resumes and airlines being cheapskates under the name of safety means they still don't bring back catering, the caterers lay tons of people off, and then the airlines will likely blame the caterers saying "we'd love to offer our customers better food, but there's nobody to make it." That's how I see the circle.
