Since the upswing has lasted longer than most or all previous comparable cycles, we may be in a new paradigm.

Also I think less likely to get a big crash right after a big crash... too many of the same folks are still around and learned the hard way (my grandparents, raised in the depression, were always ready for a downturn).

Also, unless there's a significant reduction in demand for air travel, retirements will drive hiring for the next decade or more.
