LONGTERM, I’m VERY optimistic. But short term, a number of regionals have gone or soon will go Tango Uniform, Same-same for some 135 and charter companies, the next few years of retirements have already been used up by the Big Three and they are going to downsize. And if one of them goes Chapter 11, the other two will almost have to to stay competitive. In the meantime we are looking at a lot of furloughs and displacements.
So yeah, times are going to be tough for a few years.
