Sorry, but I was out there in the early 90s and to me, things only got better out there during the recession... **** knows why, I aint an economyisty!
That is good, but if you are a 744 skip' now and 20 years old, in the early nineties you would have been what, 2,3,4 years old? That is very young to have been flying or even an "economyisty."
Very easy to forget what's going on in the rest of the world because in essence you live a very separated existence and is easy to lose touch with reality.
But what the hell do I know, right?
No I think this is probably very much an area of strong expertise for you!
