Sign of the Times?
 

It's been a traumatic week at the North end of the Air Capital ramp - salvation (at least temporary) followed by massive reductions elsewhere in the industry including over a hundred at the South end. The atmosphere can be summed up by the following exchange in Friday's Maintenance meeting:

I trust you fell better for gettig that off your chest. Sorry we can't help assuage your chagrin since we haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about.
