The Upturn Has Begun (I Hope!)

All I'm saying is, when it comes to the media, doom and gloom sells. What they tell us is mostly true, but they don't give us much positive information and when they do, the details are pretty thin.

I agree. It's just like weathermen. Their job is to get you to watch, not give an accurate forecast. That's why it's always gonna be two feet of snow, or a Cat 5 hurricane or whatever sounds really bad.

All the news stations want you to watch, and people don't watch if you give them warm fuzzies

The popular news media is an entertainment service. It's sole function is like all programming: to sell advertising.

Hey Ford said they are going increase production next quarter. National has added additional flights to Europe. I think there are a few rays of hope spreading with the summer sunshine. Can the hiring boom be far behind?

Is that anything like the looming "pilot shortage?"

Or: "If they don't want to come, you can't stop them."

Is that anything like the looming "pilot shortage?"

I think Yogi explained the "pilot shortage": "It got so crowded that nobody goes there any more."
