Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
Letting people go in a crisis is relatively easy, but getting them back isn’t so simple. As an industry, aviation is at risk of a potentially long-term talent gap.
Now might not be the worst time to start an airline. Between open routes and the availability of assets and labor force, there are a ton of opportunities for those willing to take the plunge.
With more people working from home full-time we should expect to see a portion of business aviation demand fall away, at least in the short term.
