This article was the most incoherent out lash of malarkey I have ever read. I didn't find one sentence in this reading any bit factual or understandable other than "Only luck and falling oil prices saved Washington from having to face mass bankruptcy of the airline industry last year. Now the specter is rising again. Fuel prices are up. Traffic continues to plummet amid a global recession." And even here, the last sentence is a classic example of corporate and political ignorance and stupidity. Have these people been to an airport terminal let alone a Fu@#ing gate in the last year? They're packed and oversold with plenty of demand for additional aircraft. Who spiked this writers morning joe with ground peyote.
Wow-
You never heard of cutbacks?
If you cut back 10% in available capacity and the planes are 95% full, that is still a net decline in total passangers.
-"Corporate and political ignorance," indeed.
You may have missed the recent news-about airlines cutting back capacity (again and again and again.) I guess the author assumed a certain minimum level of intelligence for his readers-bad mistake, these days.
