But I would be unsurprised if the losses flowing from this are well into the billions. I mean, imagine if you're an airline that has planes sitting on the ground, not generating revenue. You've got to pay compensation to passengers. You have to pay to fix the problem. You have to bring in a different flight crew. And so many businesses are impacted that the losses are going to add up very quickly.
