Well I would have thought that with higher fuel prices there is automatically higher airfares. Unfortunately the public doesn't want to pay more money (airfares being price elastic) so discretionary travel declines hence less planes required and so on down the economic tree. In the end pilots jobs reflect the desire of the public to fly. If it is too expensive they don't fly and that is that..
