I already know 5 people who have been laid off, and I would expect my friend, who is currently in Qatar, to be one of the next to be laid off.  I have also noticed that the 2 Cessna dealerships at KAAO haven't exactly been booming.

Just read at the bottom that the Columbus is being suspended.  Make that 6 friends who have or will be laid off.
