I saw this coming weeks ago but members dissed me as medicated and the whole swine flu thing was a media hype,

hype or not, people do not want to spend money when they perceive a threat or a risk. This is common sense whether you think it is stupidity or not, you can always follow margaret jackson legacy and say customers have a mental issue for not traveling since even if you are infected, it is only a mild case.

Hawaii has seen huge falls in tourism , their biggest market: Japan has stopped going there for fear of H1N1

Now with travel insurance companies openly saying they will not cover any swine flu pandemic related loss or recovery, it does affect the whole industry.

but not to worry, AJ just boasts of the huge 3 billion dollars cash reserve, there's so much money there that I am sure the company can afford to be in the red for months and months and still not feel a drip of fuss.
