Selected comments:

• “Inflation (cost of inputs – mostly material costs) is still a significant concern. If energy costs continue to climb
  it will become more of a challenge. Access to labor is better across all shifts, but quality of applicant is still low.
  Concerned about macro-level economic conditions; consumer appears to be tapped out.
• “Maintenance remains strong. Discretionary spending has been reduced, which could be caused by the need to
  keep the aircraft flying.”
• “Currently debt free but have access to line of credit if necessary.”
• “Material prices continue to fall. Gasoline is our biggest inflation problem.”
• “Business softening suddenly this month.”
• “Business has been fairly regular.”
• “Too many unknowns currently making capital expenditures a little more risky. In addition, the cost of
  financing is high.”
