Airlines

Well lets hope you are right for the guys and girls that are spending money to become FW pilots. I do think though that this redundancy is effecting the Jets most of all especially the big fuel guzzlers . On the other hand there is a marked increase in the use and new orders of more economical turboprops like Dash 8 & ATR series especially on the less then 500 NM sectors where jet speeds do not necessarily get you there very much faster. For sure the B 747's are being grounded and new orders cancelled.
