This is not necessarily the disaster some see. Fares have to go up, Airlines need to adjust. Not all change is bad, etc. Struggling carriers will disappear bigs will reduce and consolidate. Oil has dropped 8 dollars/ and there was NEVER a supply problem, OK? Does anybody know of a supply issue of which I am unaware? No empty Trucks/A/C parked for lack of Fuel, etc. no lines at Tesco/Cosco, Richmond, Venezuela, Sand City. Tankers backed up to unload from what I see. If you can sell your cupcakes for more and people don't squeal, well, this is capitalism. Where in the Social Contract does it obligate any business to make the customer wealthier than itself? There are too many passengers flying for too little gold, adjustments are in order.
