"Random Dude on Twitter" is my second nickname. "Random Dude on Twitter" has been right A LOT. Let's look at some receipts, shall we?
* Continued strengthening of traffic numbers the past month
* Within a few points of clawing all the way back
* Forecasting through the Thanksgiving Holiday
* Total number of passengers who have flown in the past 30 days is 96.3% of 2019. In the past 3 months its 94.6%
* You can see it in the 7DMA % vs 2019 chart, the blue line has been all over that 95% line since Labor Day
* Today's 7DMA is 97.45%

* C19 Fatalities in April 2022 will be an all time low
5/16 - Testing takes ~10 days for a date to be ~90% in.
As of 5/6:
* Positivity rate @ 6.39%

5/11 Domestic Airline Travel Update:
* 3 Weeks since federal mask mandate was struck down
* 8 straight weeks of 2022 7DMA traffic being north of 2 million and also being between 87-91% of 2019 traffic
* Demand is north of 100% of 2019, but supply still isn't there
The 7 day moving avg continues in this consistent narrow band, currently sitting at 2.10 Million passengers per day the past 7 days, and at 89% of 2019 numbers.
Expect these numbers to rise significantly through Memorial Day.

4/7 Domestic Airline Travel Update:
T-111 days until the next expiration date for the Federal mask mandate. Chances are high as they've been to see it expire, but we aren't dealing with common sense here.
As far as traffic numbers, lets take a look, shall we?
The 7 day moving avg is following as closely to the 2019 historical numbers as it ever has. They're mirrors, expect 2022 is 9-10% less.
The 7DMA is at 2.07 Million. Historical numbers say we are about to see our normal spring/summer boom.
