Dear Ms Harlow and Mr Bastian, Thank you Poppy for your excellent interviews in these uncertain times for you in America and for us tuning in around the globe. Your president is giving it his level-best to run the country, but we have to be honest in saying his way of governing is geared for a bull run economy, and America is on her knees. I am an inventor, and so please excuse me for presenting ideas that are off-the-charts, but that is my job in a big way. Did you know that only 2% of inventions make to the shelves in commercial shopping centers and stores? My only patented invention was one that didn’t make it. But I would like to propose to Mr Bastian this idea. You offer every other seat booking from now on until the virus is under control. This means you need 2 ½ planes to send prospective clients from say any airport in the USA to Jamaica, for example. This of course means a severe dent in your earnings, but people will sign up to go. What am I saying here? I am saying that for 6 months to a year you are going to break even, or maybe less, but the tourists will be satisfied and the vacations will continue. It will cost you wages and fuel, but you will be in business. Call it the Covid-19 break-even years. Everyone takes a pay reduction so that the company can survive. You make sure all of your employees can pay their rent, their doctors, dentists, and buy food and send their kids to school. Everyone tightens their belt, but your business survives. Everyone gets to go on holiday, and you don’t make a penny of profit. But your company will rake in the dough when the coast is clear. It’s an opinion. Be well.
