Karl Denninger of the Market Ticker just posted 2 articles today that can explain a lot better than I can the situation we are in, and should give you an idea of when the economy (aviation) comes back. Here is the link, just click:
Where's My Economic Recovery?
To The States: Should We Talk About Secession?
They are kind of long, but try to read them. There is a lot of things going on the MSM doesn't tell ya'. I never hear about this stuff on the evening news, but I do see it on a lot of different economic oriented web sites. Hope this helps.
