Aerospace industry layoffs are gathering pace, but so far there is no lemming-like rush to shed jobs. Nonetheless, the combination of the global financial crisis, Boeing strike aftermath and delays to military programs is being blamed for layoffs already into the thousands across the U.S. industry. Jobs are not being lost at the rate of the post-9/11 downturn because so far customers, rather than canceling orders, are deferring deliveries. But unless the financing drought eases, deferrals could turn into cancellations and layoffs could accelerate.
