The AUD is trading about 64 US cents, a whopping 35% drop from its peak just a few months ago.

In theory the AUD is becoming more attractive for students from overseas coming to train in Oz, but with a global recession becoming inevitable, I wonder how many airlines and operators will be left operating or actively recruiting.

I hope yesterday's rate cut will stimulate enough domestic consumption but unfortunately so much is dependent on the rest of the world.
