That's some unrealised-gain bullshit logic that would make a crypto-bro blush.
Airlines cost me millions, millions I say!, per day in lost revenue because they very unfairly do not wire me 10% of their income every day as I think they should.

I agree that the logic for equating potential lost sales as actual lost revenue is flawed, but in this case the numbers are very conservative, and thus entirely plausible. Apparently there are more than 4 billion flights per year pre pandemic[1], so "tens of thousands" (50k?) in actual losses (ie. cases where someone bought the cheaper ticket, and would have otherwise purchased the more expensive ticket) seems like an absolute certainty.
