Why can't the airlines or who represents them get together & TELL the oil traders that they will not buy fuel over a certain price? If all airlines & operators of aircraft did this would that not force the oil majors to peg prices,at least for aviation?
Or is getting aviation to present a united front an impossible dream?
I guess it's always a case of economics - supply & demand, plus geopolitical tensions when it comes to oil.
Something has to be done at some point - we can't have 90% of the airlines that fly people, including oil execs, around the world go to the wall!
