Excellent publication that points out the difficult situation of the airline industry globally, affecting their income and therefore producing a contraction in demand and therefore in labor supply.. Only those who are best prepared will be able to sustain and recover from this pandemic, which is expected to be controlled in the most developed countries only in March of this year.
