All you talk about working remotely. The future state of the airline industry might make it so it will be easier for companies to make the decision to go remote.
Boeing is offering buyouts. Expects a long time for the aviation to recover. There will be less flights, less seats, and higher ticket prices.

" When the world emerges from the pandemic, the size of the commercial market and the types of products and services our customers want and need will likely be different," he wrote. "We will need to balance the supply and demand accordingly as the industry goes through the recovery process for years to come. It's important we start adjusting to our new reality now."

The Great Recession did not affect Boeing production in Wichita. As I recall, Boeing Seattle was still cranking out the heavy jets. People with money did not stop flying. They still went on their vacations, etc.
I worked general aviation building business jets. We got hammered. So many were laid off then.
When Ford, GM and Chrysler went to Washington to beg for money, I was home watching, and when the congressmen starting asking those 3 CEOs why they could not have jet pooled to Washington, I knew it was game over. At that time, Ford had 17 business jets in its private fleet that was eventually taken down to 5 jets in the fleet. Ford as not the only company to do this. There were a lot of lightly used biz jets for sale for a long time.
Two of the jets I worked on ceased production, never to return.
This time around, the people with money will, in all probability, give up the airlines and fly private jets. So, Covid-19, in some perverted way could drive the private jet industry, and possibly general aviation, as well.
That would be Textron (TXT) which owns both Beechcraft and Cessna, and Canadian Bombardier with the Learjet.
TXT has an interesting looking chart. TXT also owns Bell Helicopter. I need to study the company. I do not know its finances.
