Thinking about hopping on a plane and going on vacation? If you live under a rock, are a Raiders fan, or just don’t use the internet, then your answer to that question is probably yes. Well, my guest today, Trevor Moy, is a data analyst for American Airlines, and he’s here to tell you why right now is probably not a great time to head for the airport. The world is clearly in a state of panic, both socially and economically, but with so many countries shutting down their borders to any outsiders, no one has felt it more than the airline industry. So, unpack those bags, kick back, and grab your “meds” because this one is full of some great information!

 

In this episode, we break down…

• Trevor and I have a long history together, including travel and racial profiling
• How airlines are predicting future staffing needs during the virus
• The airlines are a necessity no matter what happens
• At what point are airports going to require  protective gear on everyone
• A timeline of the shutdowns that airlines have slowly enabled
• This thing is changing so many travel plans all around the world
• Options for people that have already bought plane tickets
• Events that have been canceled the definitely should have been canceled
• The important numbers that they do not push on the news
• Should we be expecting sports to come back this year?
