1:38 pm
over if you have to know your stuff or we. air lines are a tough business in good times and we're about ready to get back to a good journey which i'm sure you know has manifested in a way to help your launch of the u.s. it clear is tricky to get were dirty it is the last day of a $25000000000.00 federal. bailout package which it says would pay rolls in the industry with the end of assistance quickly approaching both airline company executives and union leaders are saying job cuts are on the way if there is no more government support with the coronavirus slamming the airline industry up until now relief funds have stopped layoffs and it required the airlines to maintain a minimum level of service the cares act which was signed into law last march has kept thousands of pilots flight attendants reservation agents and other airline staff employed through the pandemic if congress does not approve a 2nd package the harsh reality will kick in the latest data shows that due to over 1000 u.s. domestic passenger volumes have plummeted approximately 70 percent year over year
1:39 pm
with dramatic drop seed when coronavirus measures 1st kicked in according to syrian data so it was airlines is scheduled to have only 55 percent of flights that it had a year ago those numbers are akin to air travel levels in the 1970 s. as for american airlines the company has been forced to ground hundreds of planes and is planning to fly about 25 percent volume in the last quarter of this year compared to the end of 2019 if a commitment for more money isn't made official say more than $75000.00 jobs could be lost as early as next week it is estimated that the u.s. airline industry supports approximately $10000000.00 jobs it accounts for $1.00 trillion dollars in u.s. g.d.p. right now airline industry groups are pushing for as much as 28 $1000000000.00 in additional aid the funds will be used exclusively for employee payroll currently there is bipartisan support for an extension to the airline relief but the bailout has been stalled due to the inability of congress and the white house to agree on
1:40 pm
a broader koeppen 1980 package for boom bust i'm alex mile of it. from ali i want to bring in gary author of we're from the wing very thank you for being with us today i want to start with the obvious question here is there going to be more stimulus to help the airline. before that deadline hits. well it's really not going to be determined on the basis of desire to help the airline industry there's been a sign for a majority of democrats republicans the administration has signaled an interest it's really caught up in the broader discussion about a another care act another coronavirus relief package and that's where it's clogged up so i'm going to make a bet about where the politics of that election year wind up but early on p.b.s. has broad support well it looks like it because president trump has talked about a possible order to to help these airline industries and saying that he's not going
1:41 pm
to allow these layoffs to happen but many cuts have already been made to air travel and we're going to see possibly if this carries package isn't passed by next week even more cut off 75000 jobs could be laid off people employees would be laid off next week as alex mentioned in his piece if those are people are actually laid off could we see even more employees later being laid off. well the airlines are basically is that will eventually see more layoffs if travel demand drops even farther if the virus doesn't get under control it's not really about a question of government stimulus the aid for the airline industry would only require no furloughs there march 31 which is a low point in travel the winter period is when travel drops anyway it's really a question about what the course of the virus is going to look like however airlines are. downsizing their employee levels to match current levels of demand
1:42 pm
and projected levels of demand where they say you know where they're already planning a world in which the united airlines that they don't recover until the end of next year where they think this widespread back to and i added the world airline. trade association says that air travel won't recover for the whole 2024 so they're not simply slimming down to a period where they snap back quickly they're slimming down to an expectation of a gradual recovery that's not fully instituted for always all right because there's still a high number percentage of americans and people around the world who don't want to fly even if there is an empty middle seat assuming the vaccine is available by early next year like many expect what is the future of airlines actually look like are we going to see prices in airfare rise astronomically. on the contrary because there are simply more seats than passengers there are planes that
1:43 pm
are parked airlines will be bringing back pass to the head of air travelers we're already seeing that where there's 30 percent of travelers in the sky but something on the order of 50 percent of flights that keeps fares low simply having more seats than passengers more supply than demand means lower prices for some time even when we get a vaccine it will be a gradual rollout there's a gradual return to travel business travel is still a long ways off from returning it's maybe down instead of 95 percent it's down 85 percent and so the highest revenue past 10 years that tend to pay the most these are going this is going to be the last ones that are returning so it will be a gradual recovery of a low fares or a likely quite sometime well the f.d.a. only requires a vaccine to be 50 percent effective is that going to be enough to bring back that confidence among the public to the level that we saw before kovan 19. well it's going to be determined by the overall level of virus spread in the patient outcomes
1:44 pm
that we see from the virus every time a 50 percent effective vaccine if that's all that we get is probably end of combined with better treatments can bind with the viruses spread that leave some immunity for some period of time together to things under control where the industry recovers does it recover fully. immediately no it takes some time for the but for the vaccine to be rolled out to enough people where the virus spreads slows down so the industry is in for a slow recovery one it's going to take much longer then another 6 months of payroll support to protect $50000.00 jobs at a core cost $25000000000.00 or half a $1000000.00 per job where furloughs avoided for only 6 months righton much longer than 6 months much like you said it could be years or 567 who knows how
1:45 pm
long it will take to get to those levels for the airlines to be able to recover from this i want to ask you this area on thursday united airlines said that it's going to provide cove $1000.00 tests on flights to hawaii now this is the 1st u.s. airline to do this the program is expected to launch on october 15th do you see other airlines following sue and what this help do you think consumer trust. well in fact why airlines has already also come out saying they're going to be doing the same thing and the reason they're focused on why is because of the of the wise requirement of a 14 day quarantine for arriving passengers beginning october 15th will allow a negative code test too of we've got quarantine requirement so it's either going to bring back passengers to the hawaii flights they're not yet requiring all passengers to of taken that test so it's been 2 years the companies that everyone else around them assessed a negative rather it's a way of avoiding you know steak or m.p.'s now united has said they are going to expand the program possibly to other destinations from san francisco which is where
1:46 pm
the doing well and hopefully all their ports as well if they can really scale testing they could give people the confidence to return the people around them as well as provide a mechanism that would allow more destinations not just domestic destinations to really open up to more trouble the ability to go to a variety of countries if everyone's coming in it's already been tested really does make a lot of travel much more possible in the same way that people would be more willing to go to a restaurant if everyone in the restaurant is already been cleared a little fast retesting has a significant role to play in letting people know that the activities they're aging as. well it sounds like the airlines are trying to do what they can to recover little bits and pieces of what they've lost and are continue to lose because from people at least i've heard in my experience people that have been traveling on airplanes to and from places that airports are pretty crowded the airplanes i mean
1:47 pm
yes they're there it's an empty middle seat but there's somebody sitting right in front of you and someone sitting right behind you so the confidence is still pretty low on people who actually want to jump on a plane and at this point carry laugh author of you from the wing thank you so much for being with us today. that's all for this time you can catch boom bust on demand on the portable t.v. up available on your apple on android devices or simple check it out at. sea and time. we are segregated. by social class. people also in poverty by 1st name if you're born into a poor family i. born into
