what about food, water, islamic turmoil, poverty...
climate change!
You'll have to supply your own food and water.
The company will look after the rest...
Yes, what about all those things, anyway. I am assuming most of the doubters are new(ish) to the industry. I've seen this upturn happen three times already, and had to listen to all the reasons it couldn't happen.
"What about the financial crisis, fuel costs, recession" in the late 80's.
"What about the gulf war, fuel costs, recession" in the mid nineties.
"What about the other gulf war, fuel costs, recession" in 2004.
etc, ad nauseum, right up to the point where the company suddenly couldn't lease new airframes fast enough, trainers couldn't train because they were just trying to hold the programme together, F/O upgrades couldn't happen for the same reason. At which point all the people who had formed watery eyed huddles down the pub could now only be heard muttering "Well it seemed so unlikely". And (Gasp) payrises started to happen.
I've been there,(this will be the fourth time), it's going to kick off. You can send out the messages that you accept that it will continue to rain s**t for ever, and let that mind-set filter up through to the managers and bean-counters. Why you want to do that I can't imagine. You must have had at least a streak of optimism when you nuckled down to study stereo phonographic projections, or catastrophic winds for your atpls. I would say be careful what you wish for, but in this case it will make no difference, as it's on it's way.
And, yes Boeing want to flog aircraft. But they want orders in now, not in two or three years time when it's suddenly "How quickly can I get 50".
