That’s the thing people are missing, seems to people who were still doing steep turns on a 172 or in high school back in 2008….it’s not the single event of 65-67. It’s the coupling of that with an economic event. Hell, “Swiss cheese” model if you need it to make sense to a pilot. Life happens when making plans.
Maybe it time for the industry to give a nice kick in the teeth for some to understand this career has never been bourbon and “handies,” it’s a fickle girl who uses teeth.
