Import/Export worldwide decline!

[Streakn1]

As the US economy flounders, so are many parts of the world being affected!

While delivering at a LARGE transatlantic cargo carrier customer that we service, the question of "are you staying busy" came up in the conversation. We gave our usual answer of "we're holding our own thankyou" only to be told they along with other air cargo carriers have seen as much as a 30% decress in Import/Export freight being shipped since the new adminstration has gone into office. Not a good sign for many!

Yup-per,

I seen a lot of Members jump to the Greener Grass over there, some just recently.

As it seems the once lush and thick green grass is now thinning,

The forecast for rain isn't good and its going to cost to run the sprinkler so to speak.

Hopefully the Economy afterburner will kick in and we will all have our share of that lush Green Grass, and be able to Feast on Surf and Turf so to speak.

Our grass is still fine! The cargo (and passenger) air carriers are still flying, the planes are just less full. The engines and components are still running up hours and wearing so that they have to be rebuilt or replaced. Planes with idle time are more easily pulled offline and maintenance done sooner. Our deck is staying loaded regularly!

Thank God!!!
