We'll still see how this goes. I'm both intrigued and worried about this.
Well, it certainly will be a inconvenience if air traffic remains grounded for weeks or even months.
Btw - train related - people working on the airport express train are being laid off - apparently no one wants to go to the airport when there is no flights ...
If this thing lasts for a while, it might be smarter to redeploy the airport express train sets to intercity traffic instead of leaving them idle and leaving people out of work - all intercity trains are already filled to the gills by people trying to get places without airplanes ...
Time will show what happens next.
