It ’ s a good job ( and very fortunate ) that aviation leaders tend to be optimists . Each dawn , they believe , promises a new start . The storm clouds will pass , they confidently say . We are lucky that our industry is full of engineers , strategists , and planners trained to forecast and prepare daily for disruption and unscheduled events .
COVID-19 , geopolitics — including the war in Ukraine and the resulting supply-chain challenges — are testing the skills , patience , and will of every positive thinker in our industry .
