As stated many times, the choice to drive vs. fly for 2-5 hour trips is swinging towards driving. Coast to coast is another story. But, of those people that used to take multiple trips in a month, how many now take less and consolidate them, since they lose so many hours in the process? And how many had a trip that was not REQUIRED, but instead was a good idea, then they opted to just not bother? Airlines get less business, especially the high end fares. Less business gets accomplished. Trickle down economy continues.
