Thank you to everyone who participated in my non-scientific poll and who sent me PMs. I really appreciate the responses. I am no statistician, but looks like about 60% are still flying in some capacity while the others have had to make the difficult decision to do something else at least for now. The economists are mostly saying there are signs of a turnaround, with a more concrete turn in the Fall. I have always said that this country will probably go through another lackluster Christmas season before a real recovery occurs. Employment usually lags everything else by 6 months to a year. Many will not be able to hold out that long.

I have no idea what the "new normal" is going to look like, but I am confident the future cannot be as dim as it has been the last 24 months or so. If there is anything your APC family can do to help you, I hope you will ask.
