The whole aviation industry is coping imo.
There is no way it will be an energy efficient or remotely green mean of transportation in the near future so a lot of people in this industry are quite worried they will be the next target for people attempting to fight climate change.
A good example is this video of a large YouTube channel on aviation:

It's a whole lithany of bullshit excuse while pointing the finger at these silly french people trying to reduce completely unnecessary emissions (short flights with an high speed train underneath their paths).
It's like the coal industry, they feel it's the end of an era for the aviation industry and they don't like it.
I say that acknowledging that some planes are absolutely necessary but nowhere near as much as we currently have.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
It's part of the reason why we are far too late to change course. So many industries will fight progress tooth and nail, some violently I imagine.
