摘要

While much of the focus regarding U.S. manufacturing has been trained on the beleaguered automotive sector, there has also been considerable discussion of the domestic airline/aerospace industry. On the one hand, a falloff in air travel on the commercial side has spooked many airlines into trimming back orders for additional air-crafts and cutting back routes. Already, the Air Transport Association is estimating that airlines worldwide lost $11 billion inrn2009. And that's not counting private jet orders, which are under pressure as well.
