Default Global Trade forecast...

I hope the talking heads and pencil pushers are wrong but the outlook is for more contraction.

Global trade expected to slow in 2012 - Yahoo! Finance

This US debt problem WILL eventually catch up with us, maybe not tomorrow or next year but we can't just keep kicking the can down the road.

What do you think? Do you see any real growth anything soon?

Not contraction they said slowing GROWTH. But yes the debt problem will sometime come to roost.

Thank you, I did misspeak using the word contraction.

For any seat progression, hiring or movement to occur we either need a mass exodus or major global expansion. With the rebound of the stock market (401K's) I am hoping a lot of age 60+ pilots will reconsider retiring earlier rather than going the distance.

The right seat is getting awfully mundane.
