Its only not a recession because our antiquated textbook definition of recession is GDP based and that includes government spending and ignores inflation that isn't correctly/sufficiently reported anymore due to political reasons anyway.
We have a very long way to go before we see a real, sustainable recovery. A long way to go. Before that happens, things could get very interesting economically. If we want to experience reasonable sustained growth as a pilot group anytime soon, we will have to re-interlalize outsourced flying, ruthlessly fight start ups and cabotage, win customers and lobby hard to end the subsidy (direct and indirect) glory days of the foreign carriers.
