Maybe time to start converting the 737 Max to freighters and other hulls that may not see use for a few years that are closer to their end life. Give $ back to the pax carriers and sell’m cheap to the cargo industry. Granted, the former NWA guys are probably screaming now is the time to bring cargo back. I know nothing, just spitballing.

Cargo is strong now only because of the loss of almost all the belly freight from canceled passenger flights. When the passenger flights return cargo will likely see a dramatic drop in yields.

He drinks Coke from a can and buys his grandkids ice-cream cones from Dairy Queen (he bought the chain years ago).
He likes to buy solid American dividend paying companies that widows and orphans own, pays them perhaps the current price plus $25 a share, let's them know what a great deal they are getting. Once purchased he rolls the stock into his Berkshire Hathaway stock and uses the dividend cash flow to pay for the purchase.
His mother was committed to an insane asylum. As they say, what's the difference between insanity and genius? Answer - Success. Had an elderly college professor who lived through the depression and knew how America worked, he said, "it always goes to the rich bi**h".

Yeah. I always thought it pretty wild that the most cited industry forcast was written by a company with a HUGE vested interest in making it sound like there was no end in sight........

Insert witty comparative analogy here...(i cant be bothered)
