Apart from my background - in let's call it the energy sector - I am also a pilot. I normally wouldn't start or contribute to this subject on this forum, but since Cucuotto brought it up I thought I'd offer my knowledge. Aviation and energy are closely linked, it certainly wouldn't hurt to look beyond our cockpits once in a while. Political predictions? Politics is only a small part, it's mostly about geology, physics and economics. I am done posting here, all the best to you Payscale.
