What will this industry (major pax and cargo) look like in 2020?

Hiring? Not? Unmanned airplanes? More consolidation? Who will be Ch.7 ?

Etc?
 
Yea, you and that alarmist Glenn Beck. Listening to that guy makes you want to build a unibomber cabin in the high mountains for the coming armageddon. He has been predicting the end of the world ever since he has been on the TV.

I can ALMOST stomach Glenn Beck until he puts his religious overtones into his rants. Then I turn him off. And I've been turning him off a lot lately!

I do not watch TV. No point.

The point of the above reference, is not to be an alarmist, it is to have you do a little reading. It is an interesting book to say the least. Go read it. I am always very interested in the currents in which our money flows.

I hope it does not come to some calamity, but it is good to read all point of views.

There will be only one airline. It will be the combined USAirways and United. It and will be owned by the federal government and become the air trasportation "public option". All others will be forced out of buisness by cap and trade regulations. The new company will restart Avolar but only for members of congress.
 
With all certainty oil will eventually be traded with denominations other than the dollar; the dollar will fall in value and our cost of living in the US will rise. The US will lose ground in a coming resource fight, hyperinflation will set. The combined cost of maintaining our aging infrastructure, oversized military, underfunded social security and healthcare will lead to further discontent. America is in a state of emergency and no one knows it now, wait till everyone realizes how poor a nation we are becoming. America has a fourth private branch of government; The Federal Reserve. That branch has expressed the whims of corporate and political greed to the point that our nations wealth is constantly exported. Ever notice how all US Treasury secretaries come from The Fed (a private company)?

We'll have more Tea parties and just maybe we'll find a better national fiscal policy, foreign and trade policy. Our country is like our airlines in that CEOs and politicians are revolving doors who look out for number one. Of course not all of them are corrupt, but by and large the system is fraught with a lack of national pride and no sense of self-preservation.

Either way we, our families and America will be poorer. But there will always been planes and at least we (for the most part) will enjoy our jobs... while we finance the social welfare of America. On the up side, there will be more movement in the airlines industry than ever before and hopefully we'll see a real pilot shortage if Congress presses the 1500/ATP rule. On the down side, we continue to work in the most volatile industry ever.

In the meantime, enjoy the show:
