Soo. When do we think traveling for work will happen again? January 2021? July 2021? Never?

Got paired up with a retired c suite airline executive last week when golfing. Said it would likely be 3-5 years before capacity returns to pre-covid levels, with a guess that it'd be closer to 5 years. Said he thinks business travel as we know it is over until a vaccine is available and working.

According to a recruiter I spoke with, McKinsey put out some research saying regular consultant travel won’t be a thing again until 2023. Haven’t been able to find this research, so...anyone at McKinsey, any insights?

To clarify, the research didn’t say regular travel for consultants wouldn’t be a thing until 2023, but that’s when it would return pre-COVID levels.

Business travel may never recover. I have a friend who’s an international litigator and he’s said he’s never getting on a plane for a procedural hearing ever again.

Never

It’ll be hard to say, probably start opening up partially in the next 12 months.

What this has taught clients however is why do I need to cave out 15% of my budget to pay and have consultants onsite everyday.

The ability to telework has shown you probably only need them onsite for super important meetings and in person workshops

July 2021 most probably

I’m thinking summer 2021, but not weekly. Our wings were clipped until March 2021 back in late May/early June.

We started attending conferences again as of March. Granted, at a much smaller scale than pre-pandemic though the team is ready and itching to get back out there.

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.
