Everything I'm saying is verifiable. Go look yourself

The economy is reaccelerating into the crash. Markets crash up first as the dollar slides and people fomo into speculative assets. That's what you're witnessing after they got the tariff wrong.

Tariffs are deflationary.

Profitable now. The consumer is going to crushed as autos, homes crash, and the stock market with it when layoffs tick higher etc. The gig economy distorts everything. Gdp growth from Ai does very little for the bottom 80%. When the top 20% get hit early next year. DL and UA are in for the most hurt due to their passenger base.

Yes they are profitable and will shrink to remain profitable. Take at least 3 years for the economy to begin to recover.

How each cuts pay/rules/staffing is airline specific. AA is certainly bankrupt. UA, DL, and SW will grind out the weaker ones and do the best. Not doom, but gonna be a wild ride.

Cheers.
