Volcano and Airline Staff

Good evening from my hotel room in China. Its the end of my sixth day of a two day trip with no sign of it getting any shorter. Im considering starting the long trip to Ireland by road. I cant tell you how lonely it is being isolated from your family in these circumstances. I was speaking to a couple last night that our flying to NY to get a cruise to Europe
Rumours are now around that the airlines will have to look at letting go staff during these times. That really scares me. My job is long haul out of London and things dont look like improving for a while.
No indication from the airline yet but the mood in the hotel bar from all the foreign crews is not good.
I keep hearing people sayings its great to hav a ew days off. This is serious. We could have crews losing their jobs.
