PDT reduce fleet, furloughs in the future.

Yes, but fuel is going to start climbing again. Anyone wanna bet?

Not until the economy recovers at all, and I don't think you will see it recover anywhere near $100 a barrel for a long long time, if ever.

...run when a 50 seat dash will do it for less money and only about 15 minutes longer.

Up until very, very recently: Not when it is my leg.

Every time I've DH'ed out of a station I brought a Dash into the night before, scheduled block is within 5 minutes. Having said that- it only happened from Pigville, Greer, and Allentown.

Sad, really. The early am bank into Philly isn't going to be so early any more. I strongly doubt I'll ever again pull into a gate 40 minutes early.

...There have been lots of MX delays too, especially on originators. Or so I've heard.

Yea the ROA pairing includes a 5hour 11 minute sit in PHL that day.

Did anyone else notice we're doing Hilton Head - DCA in march?

That used to run every summer. You're going to be restricted to about 30 pax if you don't have an alternate.

Going back to two overnighters in March also.

So the economy was doing great when oil was 130.00 a barrel?

I think personally you will see 100.00 barrels again by the end of the year.

It wasn't great, but it was a lot better then it is now. I just can't see any justification for 100.00 a barrel oil, nor could I see the justification before when it was that price. There has to be some catalyst for it to go that high, and considering people are still conserving and oil demand is waaaayyyyy down due to the slow economy, I don't see anything short of a major war with Iran that could push the price that high.

While I agree, you must remember we are dealing with the middle east. What better way to put the screws to us. Plus Iran isn't even our biggest oil exporter.
