The reason I am hesitant is that a year ago everyone said vaccines were coming out, aviation would be back and the summer would be back. The summer was pretty much a disappointment for air travel. We then thought the US was all vaccinated but, actually, it is not vaccinated. No one thought about the Delta variant. No one thought Joe Biden would keep things closed until November. That is why there are a lot of these-----
