We had gone through so many situations where I thought the contract was going away, the world economy collapse of 08, Swine Flu. SARS, the JAL bankruptcy and of course the earthquake/Tsunami/Fukushima trifecta and although things got dicey, ANA always assured us that AJX was forging forward. This time I really didn't think much of Covid quite frankly but it certainly was disastrous for the market in Japan.
Also as jrmyl mentioned, the contract is gone and if they ever recall (and this is a big if) it will be a very different contract and company than the one we worked for. A few of us have gotten lucky and got jobs in the US but many of our friends are still looking.
Good luck to everyone on these difficult times...
