Connection thesis
German automakers announcing 225k job cuts by 2035 (structural headwind) + Air India reducing international flights (capacity/demand contraction signal) suggest widening labor cost pressure across capital-intensive industries. This echoes the United Airlines settlement narrative: labor cost floors are hardening while demand softens, creating margin squeeze across transportation/manufacturing.
