Yawwwwwwn....here we go again.
That may be your observation, but.....Seems to me that every economic indicator would tell you differently. Are you speaking from a combination of personal experience and listening to/reading liberal, biased media? Have you seen the financial markets and read some solid economic data unfiltered? Unemployment at 4.7%. Dow 30 hit an all time record this week at 11,750. Consumer confidence above 90%. Oil prices falling due to heavy surplus and low demand period coming up(Winter). Lower federal taxes paid (yes, middle class too). I could go on. We'll find out soon enough if the country votes with their feelings on the war. Mid-Terms are less than 2 months away. Will we vote to keep a GOP controlled Congress? I will. Iraq is a crappy situation to be in, but I'm not going to rehash the thread from a month ago where some of us debated whether or not Saddam had WMD's or not. He did. That's old news now, but some keep denying it. He was as big a threat as Al Qaida was prior to 9/11 (and still is).
Clearly the airline labor force is not experiencing the good times many other industries are while they recover from the biggest losses of anyone. But I can tell you that MY observation in my industry (computer software/architecture) is that we can't FIND skilled people to do the good paying jobs. Why is that?
What do you have in mind? I look forward to this one.
