Aero-News Quote of the Day
"On a personal note, you have probably read that two RAA member airlines liquidated this year, and other airline and associate member companies have announced furloughs. Never before in my career have, I seen our industry face so many challenges at once. This of course, sits atop the incredibly sobering human impact of this health crisis. My fellow Pittsburgh native, Fred Rogers, famously told his viewers, in times of trouble, to “look for the helpers.” In this industry, we need only scan social media to see incredibly inspiring stories of our member airlines, supply company partners and their essential workers locking arms (from an appropriate social distance of course) to meet the vast and evolving human needs associated with this health crisis. Whether it is an airline making special announcements to a lone passenger traveling to a sick parent, or a manufacturer re-purposing its work to create ventilators, a uniform company making masks and other PPE to protect frontline
workers, or your employee groups supporting one another and various charitable health organizations, I have never been more humbled to be part of this community. You inspire me every day, and on behalf of our entire team I want to commit to you that we will continue to be here for you in return, as we fight to protect our shared industry."
