.... and to date we have probably only seen c10-20% of the impact this financial crisis will have in the "real world".... report in press here saying containers are stacking up at ports around the world as banks are now in many cases unable/unwilling to finance their movement around the world. Not a story I can verify myself but funnily enough it would not surprise me now.... I have seen a lot of stuff in the last 2 weeks I thought would never happen.
And people are still paying money for flight training.... ha ha ha ha ha.... who was it who said ignorance is bliss??.. he/she was on to something....
