. If it were a movie, what I've seen would seem dystopian. But there are so many good people doing heroic things. And that has given me faith.
In early February, none of the flight attendants I saw had masks. And very few of the passengers did. But gradually, more and more of the cabin crew and the passengers started wearing them. And now, masks are mandated or strongly recommended, depending on the airline.
After the planes arrive and pull into the jetway, passengers are advised to remember their social distancing when they walk off the plane. I have not seen anybody who has purposely crowded into anyone's space. As a matter of fact, I've seen almost uniform politeness and awareness of social distancing on each flight I've been on.
The rental car agencies are also suffering. On a trip to Kansas City during the middle of April, I hopped on the rental car shuttle that serves all the rental companies doing business at the airport. The driver of the shuttle told me he had been working for six hours and I was only the third person he had on the bus. He said there was one other bus in operation, and I saw that driver when we got to the rental cars. He told me that over a four-hour period he had driven two customers.
GaryTuchmanCNN Flights are limited. I’m constantly under time pressure while traveling. I had to drive for hours to get to larger airports where they have a little more flights to take that work with my tight schedule. It’s absolutely more inconvenient to fly around the country the past weeks.
