and let me say the industry is not doing well. There are a lot of planes that are parked all around the country, and the OEMs and aftermarket suppliers are in deep trouble. Then to add to this when this country got "red listed" because of an administration and libertarian governors that were more concerned with greed than safety and the stock market...............then you will get bit later and we are now paying the costs for that greed and the ego of a narcissistic megalomaniac that has no clue and doesn't give shit...........his niece said as much.
And since there are still less planes in the air, they are now using the middle seat to get those revenues. Most of the planes in a company are either leased or owned by someone else, engines for example are leased from the manufacture to the airline, to drive down the costs, but they have to be maintained to the specs of the makers, but if the engines are sitting on the ground on a plane they still have to be maintained by the contract, there are a a lot of items that are driving this possible furlough announcement, and it is only going to get worse..................and as a former employee of this industry it is going to take a very long time to come out of this crises and it will start after January 21, 2021..................
