Biz travelers are not traveling, that is the point. Just look at the people on your next flight. Is has nothing to do with going to another airline they are not flying. My company has eliminated all travel until further notice and I used to take 2-3 trips a month.
As for the original OP the airlines with large international exposure are hurting worse. International cargo is almost non-existent at this time.
