You are speaking about an industry where the margins are so thin that small fluctuations in petrol price or minor geopolitical events are enough to make a dozen companies brankrupt every 2 month.

Also yes, hoping that the coronavirus make them suddenly resilient, it's pretty innocent :)

I wasn't talking about a specific industry. And even if I was, a dozen passenger airlines go broke every two months? I'd like to request a citation on that one.

And I wrote more prudent, not “suddenly resilient”. Why don't you argue against what I actually wrote, rather then a straw man you made up?
