Exactly! So there isn't one. They are all in the same boat. So either every freaking management is incompetent (an unlikely story as it involves different BODs, countries and regulations), or the problem lies elsewhere.... like very fast deceleration of CARRIER SPENDING that IMO nobody predicted at such a pace and also is not sustainable. My guess is that this can not last for more than another 6 months without some major disruption in service. JMHO.
