It’s a little puzzling hearing American “will start booking flights to full capacity” soon, considering that I flew four flights in late May/early June on American (including two entering and exiting IND), that were over 90% full. No empty middle seat whatsoever. Face masks were mandatory (and enforced) the entire flight, but I had people sitting four inches from me.
I’m neither praising nor criticizing the airline–there’s no way the industry can survive on this model for much longer–but to claim that they’re just now relaxing social distancing measures is a tad disingenuous, since it had the occupancy levels of a normal flight a month ago. Many of the airports themselves are also compensating for the drop in passengers by concentrating all of their flights in a handful of a gates in a single concourse, thereby nullifying many good-faith efforts people make toward social distancing. CLT seemed pretty negligent in this regard. Here’s my coverage of the experience with some airport interior photos: http://dirtamericana.com/2020/06/empty-airport-corona-collapse-travel/
