Re Kemblejet01:

Quite incredible. Does this person really fly an aircraft?

The facts are: -There would have been fuel surcharges anyway.
-They wouldnt have been very different,- conversations or
no conversations. The other Atlantic carriers have raised
their overall rates by much the same amounts.
- The airlines have to raise their fares to cover at least some
of their additional fuel costs but are on a high wire act
between increasing and losing revennue if demand drops off.
-It isnt easy and overall they aren't doing a bad job of it.
-None of the individuals mentioned have yet been found
guilty of anything.
