As I close my logbook on 2020, I’ve totaled up the hours and shown gratitude for every one of them. This year has changed us, and brought us the opportunity to reflect on our experiences, and use them to make 2021 an improvement over the past 366 days. The bar is low, I’d say. In that vein, I’d like to share my predictions for the new year, based on hope as well as current efforts underway in general aviation, business aviation, and the airlines that began in 2020.
