Before bailing out last month for the usual summer vacation, the House and Senate took no action on the tax bill that would have extended the bonus depreciation benefits allowance.

The “no decision” by the House and Senate now leaves OEMs unsure with regard to aircraft production planning for 2005.ᯖ
