They do that every single fiscal year as the political budget crisis plays out. Plenty of travel gets approved, few mil personnel would even submit requests for frivolous travel anyway, the boss knows that when he sees it. I don't think this will be much different. Given discretion, not too many CO's are going to tie their organization's hands based on vague and non-quantifiable COVID risks.

If you are saying that the airlines are directed to offer tickets to the U.S. government at a loss you are incorrect. For the majority of cases Gov/Mil tickets are more expensive then what the average person can find online. They are more profitable for the airline than your standard ticket, but not as profitable as your average Neiman Marcus business traveler.....obviously (lol, I knew this debate would pop up as soon as I posted my original comment. This board is so predictable).
I am saying most govt tickets are not profit centers for the airlines.

As (when) this pandemic starts to ease, it is very obvious with all the various jurisdictions (cities, counties, states, Feds, etc.) enforcing their own endemic wide variety of restrictions and politicians putting their fingers in the pie, the travel sector rebound is going to be a very disorganized slow paced process. Counting stats on a daily or weekly basis such as TSA’s, as an example, is way off base and presents misleading volatile data for a micro time frame snapshot. Just saying that trying to build short or long term projections off of this type of data on a daily or weekly basis is pointless based on the big picture. Again, check the TSA data quarterly instead over the next 12 months and then you might start to get some useful numbers to correlate against.

Rhino,
I think we all realize that things aren’t all that great...but having a bit of optimism and a positive outlook does no harm. If you rely all your life decisions in it, sure that’s a problem. But tracking those numbers and making a comment about them is still a lot better than sitting behind the screen and anticipating the one million ways life will come to an end.
Europe is opening come Monday!

Don't think anyone is painting too rosy of a picture...
How about this.... even something like a TSA chart gives a furloughed guy an indication of how close the aviation sector is to 2019 levels.. It can help a furloughee judge when he/she might be called back.
We're barely out of phase 1 or 2 in just about every State. And holding roughly 12-13%...… Maybe we get to 30-40% by the time lockdowns are really eased. Or 50% by Oct. 1st.. Data gives us a starting point.

Some potentially good news, Vegas properties are seeing a higher demand than anticipated after reopening:
