I haven’t heard anybody talking about how much less cloudy the sky has been, how many less contrails (chemtrails?) there are in the sky, or how much less deadly CO2 has been pumped in the atmosphere.

I once had a relative that lived in Tucson. So I got to drive around a little and see Davis-Monthan, AFB. An aircraft aficionado’s dream! And it is practically endless.

Filling the skies with high speed diesel belching busses is not in anyone's best interest. That said, reliable reasonably scheduled service is vital for our economy and national good.

FedEx overnight or two day shipping is really just procrastination turned into a business model for a very spoiled and unplanned consumers.

Well my certification class got postponed (again) to who knows when; back home to Seattle and put on reserve. Flight schedules are being reduced by 70% by the end of April if this stupidity doesn’t end. Our future bookings are flat and people are asking for refunds. Furloughs could be on the horizon. Two regional airlines have tanked already.

The boneyard is a nice place and on YouTube, they did a drone of it. I think I saw an L-1011 there...

I gotta go to the old airbase/airport here and see if the storage place has added planes.

“Going to need a bigger plane boneyard.”

Agree, and waiting this long shows how lost people are on this. We’re talking years before a full recovery, if ever (I personally doubt ever). They should have been parking the planes a month ago.
