Cranky Talk – The Big Airplane Demise
Just like the dinosaurs before, there is a mass-extinction event going on in the airline industry right now. For the last 50 years, jumbo jets have been the standard for awesomeness, but they are rapidly disappearing. The pandemic has only accelerated the trend.
Why have all these big birds disappeared from our skies? Is it climate change? Illness? An asteroid? No, of course not. It’s just that there are other airplanes that are better adapted to what the world wants today. We talk all about it this week.
