this is one of those articles that a commenter made last week saying he thought this used to be an aviation blog.
this is also one of those articles where the financial and political landscape of a nation governs what can be done technologically.
for starters 35K planes over 20 years is 4.86 planes per day. spare me the humor of what 0.86 of a plane looks like.
the paragraph that i find most intriguing in this article is the next to last. where the author begins enumerating the reasons for this aviation based outlook. to say the least, imo, the author is not looking at a glass half full. he is looking at a glass that is 2.333 times full.
the financial forecast this author is making is unrealistic at best.
whatever he is drinking, i want no part of.
