I should add that yesterday NPR had a segment on about the pax flying boom in Asia. They discussed the 10 year increase in flights/pax enplanements. The numbers were impressive. I am not sure how many expats they are hiring. I am also not sure how many people are willing to become ex pats and fly there. They did not discuss the Middle East, but I believe Emirates and Qatar Airways (at least those two) are taking *big airplane orders. Food for thought.

And where is ATP Cliff? That guy always has something positive to say! (which I am not bagging on him for)
