What about when all the high finance guys lost their jobs in '08?

You have some high morals there. I call rubbish.....

By the same token, since apparently we can’t ever critique anyone, why do you believe you know better than the experts at the CDC, are those people incompetent in their own field? Everybody else out there is wrong and you are right, in your opinion. That's pretty arrogant. Unlike Viper, I don't particularly care for that in a pilot.

Either way, I don’t particularly care for people cheering when others lose their livelihoods, whether their company or industry sucked or not. In my opinion, Boeing has sucked lately, that doesn’t mean I’m happy to read that they’re laying people off.

Got bored so started tracking the TSA throughput trends during this downfall and subsequent, hopeful recovery. I'll keep it updated daily, at least for my own sense of curiosity.

TSA Analysis (Published Google Sheets)

Some clarifications:
% of last year -- Total Throughput / Last Year's Total Throughput (for same day)
Rolling 7-day Average (7DA) -- Average of last 7 days from selected date (good metric that captures random high/lows)
Last Year (LY) 7DA -- Same as above for Last Year
% of LY 7DA -- Current 7DA / LY 7DA
- Green color denotes gains from previous day
- Red color denotes losses from previous day
- Graph is plotted with % of LY 7DA data points

Interesting insights:
- 18 of last 19 days with consecutive(-ish) positive regains on last year's 7DA
- 12 of last 19 days with positive regains on last year's same day total
- lowest relative point was April 16th, with the positive regain trend starting on April 17th

Take the data as you will! I'm no prognosticator, but the recovery seems to have begun, albeit slowly and gradually.

The international piece is the one that's hard to predict as countries are closed to outsiders. As soon as you see those travel restrictions lifted we'll soar. Just my prediction....
