No, you will need them for a major demographic shift in this country. Three reasons:
1. Student loan debt is about to be bailed out, freeing up capital. Those kids want to travel instead of buying cars, and homes.
2. Asia economies are teetering on the brink.
3. The Latin American push here in America; Amnesty, and shifting work from China to South America.
These items will suddenly introduce 100+ million new customers going south, instead of to Asia.
The world is changing Sailing. As a business customer with Delta, I have recently been forced to fly American, and it's annoying the hell out of me. My business to China has shrunk 90%, only to be more than replaced with 7000% growth in SA. Also, China tries to hack my computers almost daily to steal intellectual property. All the business owners I talk to have had it with them.
