Some awful US airline traffic stats have been released for March...

United and Amercian (2 biggest airlines) posted declines of -7% and -5.9% respectively despite the early Easter break.
US airways also down 3.5%... US also cutting by capacity by 3-4%.
Other domestic carriers have also announced capacity cuts of up to 10% in domestic fleets.

Did someone say it was all about traffic numbers and these weren't going to be impacted?.... hmmmmm and its only just beginning...
