Aero-News Quote of the Day

“It’s far too soon to say that we have come to any conclusions … but [we] do realize that there are a number of things that have happened as a result of sequestration. Congress, in their challenge to us, said to look at between 2013 and 2018. I am sure they were interested in the impact on the services when the Budget Control Act went into effect. The reality is that we’re seeing a lot of things that could be related to the funding cuts, some of which resulted in reductions in personnel, often in key positions.”
