By all accounts a Trump presidency will likely be worse for the industry then Bush was! Markets are already tanking as they try to price in a level of economic and political uncertainty that has no precedent. The closest parallel is the morning of September 11, 2001. Nobody knew what the future held but everybody knew it wasn't good and would take a long time to settle down. The dollar will decline in value, increasing the price of oil, international trade will suffer and in turn international business flying and therefore widebody jobs, flag of convenience carriers like NAI will be welcomed in (competition is good right?), I fully expect age 67 and for the 1500 hour rule to be overturned, all of which serves to devalue our profession. Some carriers may furlough as they pull down capacity, others will just slow or stop hiring. It's likely orders will be canceled, postponed, or sold to Middle East carriers.

I'd hold off on buying that new house or boat for a bit.
