I walk into work on a Sunday afternoon, clock in, say hellos and see what the night has in store for me. A meeting is called just as we settle in for our shift. The meeting is just what all of us wanted to hear: You are furloughed until further notice. Thank you, COVID-19.
I found this blog, Mototok, that has some nice posts for an individual in the aviation field. Whether you are a mechanic, ground services, or management, this blog covers a good bit of information. The first article I read was titled ''MRO Futures and Outlook Amid a Global Crisis." As most already know, the global crisis at the moment is COVID-19. This virus has negatively effected so many people, organizations, and companies.
Reading the article gave insight on how MROs (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul facilities) will recover from this crisis. Aviation has plummeted since March and the future is hairy. Efficiency will be crucial in the coming days of aviation. The government is playing part in the private sector now because of restrictions and regulations. Most companies will have to adapt to the new "normal."
Although the future of aviation is a tad bleak, I believe that it will not perish. A quote from the article reads, "The times are trying and the way ahead is very uncertain. We do not know what the future holds for aviation, although we can be assured that it will not go away." I advise my fellow associates in aviation to not lose hope.
Yeah, Covid-19 bites.
