Spirit, JetBlue, United, American? Desperate or irresponsible?

Spirit, JetBlue United Airlines and American Airlines are all flying from New York to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 26,348 Coronavirus cases in New York, 3,675 in Newark, 325 people dead.
Florida has 1,467 cases of COVID19 and 20 people dead.

Every airline in the world is suffering like the rest of the travel and tourism industry.

Spirit, JetBlue United Airlines and American Airlines are offering one-way airfares from New York to Fort Lauderdale this week starting from $18.00. This is less than a bus ride to most airports.

Of course, Spirit, JetBlue United Airlines and American Airlines are competing, but such airfares are not healthy and sustainable.

Letting people travel without a check, letting people travel to airports and roam around in this critical phase when we try to stop the virus is putting not only flight attendants in harm’s way but is a sure way to get hundreds of thousands of residents sick.
