AC will need corporate travellers to return actively and big time upon resumption of normal service for their profitability to grow... so you can bet they will likely make some significant changes to drive revenue.
That is if we make it through the zombie apocalypse.

Of course.
And yes, most of us will make it through, surely. At which point we'll go back to worrying about next year''s status. :-)

I just received the 25 eUps - - and the Mrs got 15 with E50 status.
This year's flying will be complicated - had to just cancel 75K worth of tickets because the tickets were all linked / are refundable - and I worried about both not flying and not getting money from a bankrupt airline . . . . (not AC ticket stock).

Nice gesture by AC but surprised they aren't even communicating this out. What a wasted opportunity to engender some goodwill.

Premature to say that, really. Maybe in a month doctors are going to decide that all of these anti-travel measures aren't really making any difference and we might as well go back to flying. Or two months. Or whatever. Six seems on the long side to say "no one will be flying normally".
