Well we are all trying to make due with the changes COVID-19 has dealt us. Mine started in Mid March when my employer decided that if I went to the airport for any reason I would have to Quarantine for 14 days. That was March 13th.
At the same time I decided to Cancel my trip back down to Cancun which was scheduled for April 8th.
On March 27th I returned to work after my two weeks of quarantine and was informed that we would all be working from home starting the following Monday. Except for me and the General Manager.
I have been working Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the office since then and working from home the other days. When I work I am the sole person in the office. It is kind of creepy being in a 8,000 square foot office by yourself.
However it seems to be working none of my co-workers have come down with the virus and we are still operating. Unlike everyone in the customer service industries. I wonder how many of the smaller business will survive.
In BC we were lucky we locked down early and have not had nearly as many cases as the other provinces. Hopefully it will stay that way.
I cancelled my flight to Cancun and it was just last week that I was notified of the refund. I got half back to my card and half as a credit to future travel. If they manage to survive the shut down.
With Trump to the south of us pushing to open the borders hopefully or idiot in power keeps them closed until they get it under control down south.
I think airline travel has changed forever. They will have to give people space to allow for distancing which also means they will have to charge probably double for the flights just to make the same amount of money.
Some airlines will not make it and others will be much smaller at the end of this. I don’t put much faith in being able to travel again until 2021.
