How long - about this long at the moment - The suits view of aviation - ditto OZ

No cheer here boys and girls - just smaller and more anxious.

Note the indicators and its portents - people are driving not flying, long haul and international is in the bin and business will slash the travel - go and use MS TEAMS or Zoom instead. Government will bail out the icons and everyone will be on debt peonage and life support thereafter. Aviation always depended on people needing to go places or get boxes there , either fast or because there were no other option. The mass consumer travel boom that began with the wide bodied jets is over! Why - the consumer is broke just like most of the drivers and black hands and the cabin sales folk. The market for aviation services is going to look a lot like it did in t he 50's - for the rich and those whose employers pay the tare! How many aircraft did QF have then, TAA and ANSETT? Thats about it.

Surviving this for the youngsters, the millenials or whatever is going to come down to luck and that is hardly a plan luck or hope either of. Sorry, way it is way it was always in this game - better get used to it those of us who rode the roller coaster from then to now learnt the hard way and have had to rebuild our existence (move) and income (less) numerous times - no such thing as a sure thing!

Oh yeah and I got busted out as well except well this is the very last time now, run out of time and interest and money to be going around the same circle.
