I’m aware that some European airlines were in trouble before covid, but the US industry was certainly not shrinking. Crews and support staff were being hired every day. It was a buyer’s market. Airlines couldn’t get enough people to fill classes.

We were actually expecting a new airline to begin operation this Autumn.
